ElkY Agressing

Bertrand Grospellier bet out 600 on a board of {5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades} and his opponent on the button made it 1,500 to go.

When action came back to ElkY, he three-bet to 4,100 and his opponent let out a discouraging sigh. He tossed his cards into the muck and ElkY was able to continue to pad his stack.

Mahmood Gets There For A Double Up

When we walked over to the table where Ayaz Mahmood is siting, he was counting out his chips for what turned out to be a double up. We didn't catch any of the action, but the board read {7-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and Mahmood held {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for the nut flush, while his opponents {k-}{k-} were being thrown into the muck. Mahmood collected the pot, and got a much needed double up.
