Elky Grospellier Eliminated in 15th Place ($37,780)

Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier moves all in from the button for 270,000, and it folds to Paul Volpe in the big blind. Volpe hasn’t looked at his cards yet, so he flips them over one at a time so everyone can see them when he does.

The first card is the [Jh], and the second card is the [Ad] — Volpe calls. Grospellier turns over [10s7s], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes [8s6s5c], and Grospellier flops the world with an open-ended straight draw and a gutshot straight-flush draw. But the turn is the [Ac], the river is the [7h], and Volpe wins the pot with a pair of aces to eliminate Grospellier from the tournament.

Paul Volpe  –  2,980,000
Elky Grospellier  –  Out in 15th Place  ($37,780)
