ANOTHER BIG POKER WIN FOR GROSPELLIER
16 January 2009
"ElkY" takes the $25 000 buy-in High Roller event
at the PCA
Online and live tournament poker ace Bertrand "ElkY"
Grospellier lit up the High Roller event at the
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas this week
with a convincing win over 47 other big names competing
in the $25 000 buy-in game.
To claim his $433 500 winner's prize, Grospellier had to
survive a field that included names like Daniel Negreanu,
Phil Ivey, Eric Seidel, Gus Hansen, Greg Raymer, Justin
Bonomo, Chris Ferguson, Ivan Demidov, Dario Minieri, Joe
Hachem and a slew of other top international players.
It took 15 hours to reach a final table that comprised
cash game whiz Eli Elezra, WSOP bracelet holders
Humberto Brenes, Daniel Alaei and Scott Seiver and WPT
champ Nick Schulman, Liya Gerasimova, Will Molson and of
course Grospellier himself. Another two hours were to
pass before the first final table exit, which proved to
be Nick Schulman. He was followed by Alaei, Ezra and
Brenes before the dinner break.
Resuming play after dinner, Grospellier held the chip
lead and saw the departure of Gerasimova and then Seiver
in third place, clearing the way for a heads between
Grospellier and Molson, with Grospellier holding a
hard-to-beat 7 to 1 chip lead which he quickly exploited
to the full to send Molson home in short order. Molson
collected a check for $228 000 for his time and trouble,
with third placed Scott Seiver still in six-figure
territory with his take-home of $137 000.
