Mitchell Keeping Wheeler Interested

Third Nuts No Good For ElkY

Nivel 6 : 300-600, 75 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Bertand "ElkY" Grospellier is now heads up with Charles Gagnon but has just lost a substantial pot with the third nuts.

The flop read {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Gagnon check-called ElkY's 1,625 bet. The turn was the {3-Spades} and Gagnon checked again, ElkY kept his foot on the gas and made it 2,850 to play and was snap-called by his opponent. The river brought another diamond into play, the {9-Diamonds} and now Gagnon bet 5,600. ElkY called and Gagnon turned over {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for the flush ( {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} would have been the absolute nuts) whilst ElkY showed the {Q-Diamonds} .
