Joseph Cada - 17th Place
With the action folded around to the blinds, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 48,000 from the small. Next door, Joseph Cada counted out a reraise, sliding 136,000 into the pot. Grospellier tanked for a little bit, shooting the occasional glance over at Cada and his chip stack. Finally, he began stacking out green chips and made a third raise to a total of 275,000. Cada quickly announced, "All in," and Elky had little choice but to make the call.
Showdown
ElkY:
Cada:
The news wasn't good for Grospellier, and it would get worse. The flop came to give Cada the flush draw and reduce Elky's outs to two live aces. The on the turn was a blank, and ElkY stepped back from the table with his fists clenched. As if he willed it into fruition, the slammed the river, drawing a big reaction from the table and the rail alike. Cada was in disbelief as he shook his opponents' hands and headed out through the ropes. The floor staff had to track him down so that he can get paid, and he'll pocket $21,533 for his efforts. It may be little consolation though after that disappointing end to his day.
ElkY now has a mountain of chips once again, leading the pack with about 1.45 million.
