Don't remeber of reading such an interesting final hand from this big tourneys. It wasn't easy. I don't know about Spindler, but perhaps when facing 3 clubs at the table, the reaction could be other. After all, ElkY hadn't any of that, but could be a prediction of what was going to happen. After wacthing two 9 at the table, Spindler would never let that hand go, taking in consideration the chips we would left behind if he quits it. Very nice played by ElkY.

Well, congrats once again for Elyk although i don't really appreciate it at all. On the other hand other players at the final table played very good than other times. I really likr how Juha Helppi played, too bad he only finished on the 3th place. From what i know he has tons of live tournament experience compared to other more popular online poker players. Also a nice surprise was Vanessa Ruosso,, he showed that she also has the looks and the poker knowledge, one true team pro. Too bad Viktor Isildur1 Blom and Tom Dwan durrrr already were eliminated, i saw Viktor already started to play at SCOOP on Pokerstars.
I love watching how he plays, maybe he isn't my favourite poker pro, but I enjoy watching his game. The last hand was very interesting, like @Fakiry said Another great win for ElkY, of course not last. He's awesome on- and offline, I wish I could have at least 25% of his skills

Nice cash for ElkY. One day I hope to be at this level..................mmm Here's hoping.
I've watched him on tv and think he is one of the best players I've seen, I like the way he moves and "takes a gamble" sometimes. His playing style is very adaptable and exciting.
