PokerStars pro Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier has taken over the lead through a mixture of luck and aggressiveness. He doubled up (with an extreme amount of luck) when he saw a flop of {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

, while holding {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

against his opponent’s {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

. ElkY check-raised to 2,200 and his opponent just called with his set of jacks.

The turn was {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, ElkY’s opponent check-raised all-in, ElkY called and the river was {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

. Hitting one of his two outs gave the Frenchman the 30K pot.

Two hands later ElkY called a 575 raise pre-flop, called the 1,400 bet on the flop {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

, called 3,400 when the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

came on turn and bet 5,000 on the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

river, forcing his opponent to fold. There are many ways to win in poker, and ElkY knows them all.
