Curtis and Grospellier Double Through Each Other

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Joshua Curtis and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier just doubled through one another in a rapid succession of hands.

The first saw Grospellier open for a raise to 13,000 from middle position, then it folded around to a short-stacked Curtis in the big blind. Curtis has some supporters on the rail, and when he announced he was reraising all in with his stack of 74,000 total, they began to shout for his cause.

Grospellier thought for just a few moments, then shruggingly called the reraise, thereby committing a little over half of his stack.

Grospellier had {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} and needed help versus Curtis's {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to provide a sweat, but the turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {K-Spades}, and Curtis's supporters had new reason to cheer.

Soon, though, it was Grospellier all in before the flop for his last 60,000 or so with {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} versus Curtis's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The board came {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and ElkY survived. Both, however, continue to sit with short stacks.
