ElkY Moves on to Day 2

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

ElkY is a step closer to winning a bracelet in his homeland after defeating Charles Gagnon heads-up.

Elky had 400 chips less than his opponent when they tangled in a big pre-flop showdown. Gagnon raised to 1,900 off the button before moving all-in for 40,900 when ElkY three-bet to 4,800. Call.

ElkY: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Gagnon: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The board ran {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Spades} to make ElkY two-pair.

He finished off the job the next hand.

Third Nuts No Good For ElkY

Bertand "ElkY" Grospellier is now heads up with Charles Gagnon but has just lost a substantial pot with the third nuts.

The flop read {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Gagnon check-called ElkY's 1,625 bet. The turn was the {3-Spades} and Gagnon checked again, ElkY kept his foot on the gas and made it 2,850 to play and was snap-called by his opponent. The river brought another diamond into play, the {9-Diamonds} and now Gagnon bet 5,600. ElkY called and Gagnon turned over {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for the flush ( {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} would have been the absolute nuts) whilst ElkY showed the {Q-Diamonds} .
