ElkY Chips Up Early

Elky-- no "Joker" makeup but still bleached-blonde
Elky-- no "Joker" makeup but still bleached-blonde
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier is off to a running start today and dressed quite normally (you might recall the "Joker" costume and makeup he was so fond of at APPT Macau).

On a flop of {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Spades}, the small blind checked to ElkY in the big blind, and he led out for 425. The button raised to 1,500, the small blind gave it up, and ElkY called. The turn came the {4-Hearts}, prompting a 2,150 bet from ElkY. The button called. The river was the {9-Clubs} and ElkY wasted no time moving all in for his remaining 7,700 or so. The button gave it up and ElkY dragged the substantial pot, sending his chip stack past the 15,000 mark midway through the first level.
