I am not that impressed with Elky. I have played with him quite a bit, maybe he is a better cash game player than tourney player, but he is not that great of a tourney player in my opinion.
A good buddy of mine (Sooners is his
pokerstars nick) played him in a heads up sit&go last week - buyin $1,000.
About three minutes into the match the following happened:
Elky has about 1600 in chips and Sooners has about 1400. Blinds are 20-10.
Sooners picks up A9s and makes it 100 to go. Elky reraises to 300 and Sooners calls. There is 600 in the pot. Flop: 9h 6d 2h
Sooners bets 500 and Elky moves allin.
Sooners calls
Elky turns over Ah 6c and is a huge underdog. Sure enough the turn brings a 6 and the river is a blank. Elky takes the $2,000
