Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier did something that few can do -- he silenced the garrulous Phil Laak. Action folded to a short-stacked Laak on the button, who opened for 2,600. Grospellier reraised to 8,000 from the big blind after the small blind ducked out of the way. Laak instantly moved his whole stack into the middle, about 25,000 total. Grospellier called just as quickly.
Laak:
Grospellier:
Laak gritted his teeth upon seeing Grospellier's hand. The board improved neither player, running out . As Grospellier stacked 194,000 total chips, Laak wordlessly stood up, grabbed his backpack and exited the ballroom through a side door.
