ElkY Grabs His Table By The Horns

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a flop reading {4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checks, Keven Stammen bets 8,100 and ElkY makes the call. After burning a car the dealer puts out the {J-Diamonds} on the turn. ElkY wastes little time in betting 12,200 but Stammen takes his time, almost 90 seconds, before announcing "24,000." However, he is informed that WSOPE rules dictate he must make it 24,400 to play. He apologises, stating he thought the ElkY raise was 11,200 and he puts in the extra chips.

But he need not have bothered because ElkY almost instantly moves all in and Stammen flicks his cards towards the dealer and is the short stack at the table. ElKY however is well in control, just for a change.
