ElkY Gonna Elk

Yet another all in on the very busy ElkY/Young table. After a raise, Bertrand Grospellier moved all in, and Young snap-called with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. His pair of black ladies needed to hold up against ElkY's {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}, but this is Elky we're talking about folks. All he needs from a flop is a backdoor draw. It came {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, meaning he needed an ace or running hearts to double up. Might as well do it the fun way. A quick {3-Hearts} and {j-Hearts} later, and Grospellier doubled a third time, enough to retake the lead.
