Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier sits down with PokerNews.com to talk about the old days of online poker, in which the Frenchman was one of the biggest stars together with the likes of H@££INGGOL, Rekrul, RaSZi and Daut44.
Grospellier gets a little nostalgic when he thinks back of what it was like when players in the United States, and all over the world, could compete against each other. Despite these nostalgic feelings ElkY thinks that the future of online poker is bright, and that good things are coming for the industry.
