ElkY Takes a Big Lead
We just caught the tail end of a big pot over on Table ElkY/Risky.
The board showed 
when we walked up to the table, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checked. Scott Clements fired out a big bet of 100,000 straight, only to see ElkY check-raise all in for about 140,000 total. Clements could not call; he folded, leaving himself just 35,000 chips to Grospellier's 445,000.

Jason Somerville opened to 6,000 from the button, and Julian Herold three-bet it to 16,000 straight. Somerville made it 46,000, Herold popped it back to 105,000, and Somerville shoved. Just like that, all of the chips were in the middle, and the cards were on their backs:
