Catching Up With Jack Sinclair and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Before play got underway, we spoke with WSOP 2017 final tablist Jack Sinclair and 2017 WSOP High Roller for One Drop runner-up Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.
"I feel great," said Sinclair, "I'm ready to crush. Today's fun, but I don't know how many good tables are left now. We're going to have to go to war! It's just like playing high stakes online, just for a hundred times the buy-in!"
Grospellier was also in a good mood just before play got underway, and said that the field here at King's is much better than the one in Las Vegas.
"The atmosphere is more relaxed; we all know each other and we all got to have dinner with one another yesterday. It feels more friendly actually.
"It's a great tournament and it's great to have some chips. It feels great to play here at King's."
