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) / {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} / (X)
Grospellier: (X)(X) / {8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} / (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 {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for just a pair of sevens, Grospellier showed {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for kings and jacks, and the reigning Stud World Champion won the pot.
