ElkY Takes Bluffer's Chips, Bounds Up Leaderboard

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
A short while after losing that two pair-versus-set of tens hand, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier got it back and then some, benefiting greatly from an opponent's badly-timed bluff.

After a flop of {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Grospellier bet 15,500 from the cutoff, his opponent raised to 40,500 from the button, ElkY reraised to 83,000, and his opponent called.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}, and this time Grospellier bet 55,000. His opponent -- who had ElkY covered -- immediately pushed all in, and Grospellier didn't waste much time calling.

Grospellier turned over {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a set of fours, while his opponent showed {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a lot of nothing. The {7-Spades} on the river didn't matter, and Grospellier leaps up toward the top of the leaderbaord with 470,000.
