Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier won Event #21: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. The French PokerStars pro bested a field of 126 runners, taking home $331,639 and his first gold bracelet. He just tangled with the 2009 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. winner David Bach in a stud hand, where the Frenchman displayed his prowess.
David Bach: (X)(X) / / (X)
Grospellier: (X)(X) / / (X)
Bach completed, Grospellier raised, and Bach called. Back called a bet from Grospellier on fourth street, then led on fifth when he made a pair of sevens. Grospellier called.
Grospellier made a better pair on sixth, but decided to just check-call, and did the same on seventh.
Bach opened up for just a pair of sevens, Grospellier showed for kings and jacks, and the reigning Stud World Champion won the pot.
