We caught up with the action during a preflop raising war between Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier and Brad Booth. It appeared that Booth initially opened from the cutoff and was three-bet by Grospellier from the big blind. Booth went all-in for his remaining stack and Grospellier snap-called.
Grospellier: 
Booth: 
Ouch.
No miracle came for Booth, as the board fell 
and he was sent to the rail.
Grospellier is up to 210,000.
