ElkY Starting Back-To-Back Journey Slowly

We just saw Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier receive his bracelet for winning the $10,000 Seven Card Stud World Championship, and he has now hopped into our event but lost some chips early.

On a flop of {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades} ElkY checked and a player in late position bet out 600, ElkY called. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and ElkY again checked, the late position player bet out 1,600 and ElkY called.

The river was the {10-Spades} and ElkY checked for a third time, the late position player bet out 3,000 and ElkY let it go.

A slow start here in the 6-max as he is down to 5,500 early.
