ElkY All in Against Aces

ElkY
ElkY
On a flop of {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checked, and his lone opponent put out a bet of 8,100. ElkY opted to check-raise to 21,000, and his opponent called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and ElkY moved all in for his remaining 18,400. His opponent quickly called, turning over {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}. Grospellier was in bad shape with his {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} for top pair.

But don't forget that ElkY runs good, by his own admission. He somehow pulled the {K-Clubs} out of the deck on the river, improving to two pair and doubling up to 85,000.
