Heads Up: Bertrand Grospellier & Steve Landfish

Grospellier: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Bertrand Grospellier had the bring in and called when Steve Landfish completed and then called again on fourth street. The action went check-check on fifth before Landfish bet his ace on sixth street, ElkY now raised and Landfish tank-folded as the Frenchman regained the chip lead.

ElkY Holds on to Double Up

Grospellier: {10-}{8-} / {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} / {2-}
Landfish: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} / {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {10-Diamonds}

Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier brought in and raised after Steve Landfish completed. Landfish re-raised and ElkY made the call. On fourth, there were fireworks and after a flurry of raises, ElkY was all in and at risk. He was ahead with two pair, tens and eights, but was certainly in danger against the kings of Landfish. As each card came out, both players failed to improve. It came down to seventh where Landfish turned over the {10-Diamonds} which didn’t make him a better hand and ElkY dramatically doubled up as the crowd went wild!

I've Seen Jazz Bands With Less Swing

Level 27 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

After losing a couple more pots, Bertrand Grospellier has managed to win a couple back to steady the ship in this topsy-turvy crazy madcap fest of non-stop street action that lurches one way then the other.

Landfish: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Clubs} / {x-}
Grospellier: {x-}{x-} / {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Clubs} / {x-}

Steve Landfish brought in and Bertrand Grospellier raised, as he does everytime he has the high card. Landfish called and then called a further bet on fourth. Grospellier slowed down and check-called bets on fifth and sixth before seventh was checked down. The Frenchman showed {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for kings and it was enough for the pot.

Landfish Nearly Doubles to Take Back the Lead

Bertrand Grospellier shows some frustration after losing a big pot.

Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / {X-}
Grospellier: {X-}{X-} / {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} / {X-}

After winning a couple of hands following the break, Steve Landfish brought in and raised when Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier completed. ElkY re-raised and Landfish made the call as ElkY bet on fourth. Landfish called and he bet when he paired up on fifth. ElkY raised, Landfish re-raised and ElkY called. Landfish check-called ElkY’s bet on sixth as well as on seventh leaving him with very little in chips behind. Landfish showed {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for trips and ElkY couldn’t muster a better hand and mucked.

Boo Break

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

The rail just booed as it was announced that the players will go on their last 20 minute break of the night.

ElkY Bringeth the Pounding

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Landfish: {x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} / {x-}
Grospellier: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts} / {x-}

Well this would be a crazy comeback. Bertrand Grospellier raised and then fired every street until sixth which went check-check. Landfish led out on seventh and Grospellier raised, when the former called, he was shown {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for his troubles. ElkY's aces up winning the pot just before the break.

ElkY at it Again

Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / {X-}
Grospellier: {X-}{X-}/ {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts} / {X-}

After Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier took down a couple of hands to chip up a bit, Steve Landfish brought in and called after ElkY completed. On all remaining streets ElkY bet and Landfish called. ElkY showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a royal flush draw on sixth that turned into a straight at the end which was good as Landfish mucked. And just like that, ElkY has taken over the lead once again.
