Negreanu Takes a Bite of Elky

John Duhamel opened the action from middle position for 3,000. When Philipp Gruissem called, so did Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier giving Daniel Negreanu a reason to call from the small blind and bringing the big blind in too. Five players to the flop from eight and we saw . It was checked around to Gruissem who bet 8,000, was called by Grospellier and then check-raised to 28,000 by Negranu from the small blind.

Gruissem got out of the way but Grospellier made the call. The on the turn and Negreanu, first to act, checked. Grospellier checked right behind and they saw a river card . This time Negreanu led out for 36,000 and a puzzled looking Grospellier didn’t waste much in calling the bet. The puzzle was solved however when Negreanu turned over and a frustrated Grospellier mucked.
