Tournament Report
TEAM POKERSTARS PRO ELKY TAKES DOWN THE WPT FESTA AL LAGO
LONDON, UK, October 27, 2008 ? Team PokerStars Pro, Bertrand ?ElkY?
Grospellier has won the Festa al Lago World Poker Tour event at the
Bellagio in Las Vegas. Besting a field of 368 players, ElkY took home a
first prize of $1.4million and became only the 3rd person to hold both a
European Poker Tour and World Poker Tour title.
ElkY?s win in Las Vegas notes his sixth cash and second championship to
date in 2008. He started in January at the PokerStars Caribbean
Adventure, part of the EPT, in the Bahamas where he beat over 1,100
players to win his first EPT championship and $2million. His success
continued in May when he came in 5th place with a cash of more than
?120,000 at the Grand Prix de Paris.
His third large success of the year
came during the PokerStars WCOOP series last month when he finished in 2nd
place in the $25,000 head-up championship for $320,000. ElkY also had two
cashes during the 2008 World Series of Poker.
He WPT triumphs became a few days before the main event, when he came
runner up in the Festa al Lago $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event, winning
$55,000 before going onto play (and win) the Festa al Lago?s main event.
He entered the final table as chip leader and single handedly eliminated
all five other final tablists.
Over his career ElkY has cashed more than $4 million in live tournament
winnings alone, most of which he?s amassed in the last ten months. ElkY
now heads over to the European Poker Tour event in Budapest, October 28-
November 1, where he will join over 450 players including other Team
PokerStars pros; William Thorson, Noah Boekin, Luca Pagano, Vicky Coren,
Dario Minieri, Marcin Horecki, Katya Thater and Alex Kravchenko.
