Elk Tracks

ElkY didn't waste any time getting to know his table; he's jumped right into the action with his fellow big stack.

We join the action in a heads-up confrontation following a preflop raise. On a flop of {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}, Jerry Wong checked, ElkY bet 9,200, and Wong called. The {9-Spades} came on the turn, and this time ElkY checked behind Wong.

The river card was the {2-Diamonds}. Wong mustered the gumption to fire a bet, and he slid 33,000 chips out into the middle of the table. After just a quick second to consider, ElkY made the call. Wong instantly tapped the felt, said, "Nice call," and mucked his hand. ElkY turned over {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs} as was required to earn him the pot.
