Elder's Kings Cracked

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

From the UTG+1 seat the wavy-haired Antonio Volpicelli opened the betting with a min-raise to 1,200 and when the action folded to former EPT San Remo champion Rupert Elder in the cutoff he smooth-called. To his direct left was the Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and he came along for the ride too, so it was three handed to the {10-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop.

Volpicelli's check prompted Elder to tap the table and ElkY to follow suit; no more chips went into the pot. That changed upon the arrival of the {5-Diamonds} on the turn as Volpicelli lead for 1,800 and only Elder made the call so it was heads-up to the {4-Hearts} river. Volpicelli now checked, then called when Elder took a 4,600 stab at the pot.

Elder: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Volpicelli: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The Italian wins the pot and Elder's king lay shattered in the muck.
