ElkY" Grospellier won his first World Series of Poker Bracelet in Event #21: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship after defeating Steve Landfish in a prolonged heads up battle. ElkY was running hot throughout the event, but he ran into major trouble during heads up play. After falling to approximately 200,000 chips vs. his opponent's 3,500,000 [Edit: ElkY says it was more like 150,000 chips during his interview with PokerNews, which you can find in the link below; he also tries to convince the female interviewer to go out partying with him tomorrow at the end lol], he knew that he would have a daunting task at hand. However, ElkY kept his composure, eventually fought back over the course of several hours, and took it down. He cashed for an impressive $331,639, which pales in comparison to his famous WPT payday, but this is his first victory at the WSOP and taking down a 10k championship in any form of poker is a great accolade for any player. Also, 7 card stud is not his most proficient game, making the achievement even more noteworthy. Edit: His first stud tournament ever, loldonkaments
PokerNews:
The win gives ElkY the triple crown to go along with his ‘08 WPT Championship win for $1,411,015 and his PCA win for $2,000,000 earlier that year. He is this WSOP’s second triple crown winner after Jake Cody and the fourth winner overall.
