Couldn't find this anywhere else, but I thought it was pretty cool they actually let him talk about it, and showed some gameplay/booths etc.

I thought it was pretty funny that the first time they showed him he was eliminating the guy with cancer.

This is probably quite noob of me..

But I find it really cool they call him ElkY instead of Bertrand.

It's his real nickname, as opposed to just like his gamer tag, right?

He uses it as his nickname; just like another famous poker player Chris Ferguson aka Jesus.

Yes but he needs to show some of his face.
I hate poker players who go overboard on hiding their face. It's dishonest and completely improper from my point of view.

Elky wears sunglasses all the time. All the time. Pretty much all the SC videos you can find of him back in the day he was wearing sunglasses while playing.
