ElkY Headed for the Taxidermist
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened for 22,000 under the gun, only to find Jesus Cortes Lizano reraising him to 59,000. ElkY repopped for 160,000 total, and after a few moments of working out what would be the best course of action, Lizano went all in. ElkY called all in, and it was a swift and clinical end for the Team PokerStars Pro.

Board:
By the by, the demise of ElkY means that we will not be seeing anyone claim a second EPT title this time around. The only other EPT champion left in the field, Jan Boubli, busted just before the break, and we are 100% certain that we will be crowning a brand new champion this week.
Mr. Lizano is up to 950,000, almost three times what he started this level with.
