ElkY Raises Langvan Off a Pot

We walked up to Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier's table as he was involved in a hand against Julien Langvan. Langvan is a PokerStars-sponsored player who has arms that reach just below his shoulders due to a birth defect. With the board reading {4-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts} and about 8,500 in the pot, both players checked. On the river {5-Diamonds}, Langvan made a blocking bet of 2,500. Grospellier calmly surveyed the situation, then cut 7,775 chips off his stack and threw them into the middle. That raise caused Langvan to fold after about fifteen seconds of thought.
