Frenchman Not Surrendering Yet

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was down to 4,000 after doubling Justin Young a few minutes ago. With blinds up to 300/600, ElkY open-shoved with {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}, and Young called to put him in danger with {a-Spades}{6-Spades}.

The dealer brought ElkY the {10-Spades} in the door, but the {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades} flop also gave Young a flush draw. The {5-Clubs} turn paired the board. The river was black, giving ElkY a sweat, but the {7-Clubs} saw him safely doubled to 8,000. Young still has a nice lead with 42,000.
