Limit Adventures with ElkY

Limit

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier just took a couple of hits in close succession in limit hands here in Level 4.

In the first, Grospellier opened with a raise from the cutoff, the button three-bet, and ElkY called. The flop came {4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Grospellier check-called his opponent's bet. The turn was the {A-Spades}. This time Grospellier bet, and his opponent called. Both checked the {3-Hearts} river, ElkY showed {K-Spades}{9-Spades}, and his opponent {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for aces to win the pot.

In the next hand, Grospellier again opened with a raise, and a short-stacked opponent -- down to just 1,825 to start the hand -- asked ElkY what seemed a humorous question (in the limit round, anyway): "How much do you have?"

Grospellier employed a fixed-limit style with his answer: "More than you."

His opponent then said he was all in, although it took a few bets between the pair for that actually to happen. ElkY showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and his opponent {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, and the aces held.

After that, Grospellier still has 8,400.
