Mora Finds Aces and Doubles Through ElkY
From early position, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened with a raise to 25,000. Jean-Noel Thorel was in the next seat and reraised to 52,000 before play folded over to Carlos Mora in the cutoff seat. He took a minute and counted down his stack before reraising all in for 276,000. Play folded back to Grospellier and he reshoved. That knocked Thorel out of the way, leaving Grospellier and Mora heads up.
Grospellier: 
Mora: 
The flop, turn and river ran out 
and Mora's set of aces landed him the double to over 600,000 in chips. Grospellier lost roughly half his stack and currently sits on 333,000.
