Elky Dominating

stoffmakers

In a series of hands, Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier has stormed into the chip lead and has around half of the total chips in play while the other two players are around equal.

Landfish: {X-} {X-} / {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} / {X-}
Grospellier: {J-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} / {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} / {9-Clubs}

First, Steve Landfish brought in and called after ElkY completed. ElkY check-called Landfish’s bet on fourth. On fifth when Landfish paired up, he bet only to get raised by Elky. Landfish called and bet sixth where ElkY made the call. Landfish check-called the river only to be shown the straight of ElkY which caused Landfish to muck.

ElkY took down the next two pots without showdown when the following hand took place.

Troy: {X-} {X-} / {4-Hearts} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} / {X-}
Grospellier: {X-} {X-} / {J-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} / {X-}

Maxwell Troy brought in and raised after ElkY completed. ElkY came back with a re-raise which Troy just called. On the next two streets ElkY bet with Troy calling fourth and when he paired up on fifth, he check-called. Both players checked sixth and on seventh Troy bet and ElkY called. Troy immediately said “you’re good” and mucked his hand as ElkY showed {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {2-Spades} for a pair of jacks.
