Ace-King High for ElkY

Level 3
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Stud

After a player completed with the {K-Hearts} showing, Jason Mercier raised with the {K-Clubs}, then Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier reraised from Mercier's left with the {4-Spades} up. It folded back around and the completer folded, leaving just Mercier and Grospellier.

Mercier: ({x-}{x-}) / {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} / ({x-})
Grospellier: ({x-}{x-}) / {4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} / ({x-})

Mercier check-called bets by Grospellier on fourth and sixth streets, with both players checking on fifth. After the last card was dealt, Mercier checked one more time, and after Grospellier bet, Mercier thought for more than a minute before finally finding a fold.

With a big grin, Grospellier then tabled his down cards — {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{3-Spades} — and Mercier said "oh no." Subsequent conversation was punctuated by ElkY saying "I knew, I knew" as he scooped the pot.
