I have to laugh at this guy though. I have no problem with this guy but isn't it only last year that he was being put down as a big rake hungry whore who only served to feed the high stakes guys as he made a living from his stars sponsorship and supernova status. You can't really be expected to get this far without some semblance of talent. http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055151582&highlight=elky

Either way they are sick, sick stats for anyone, riding the crest of a wave or otherwise.

As far as I know Elky has zero respect for his ability as a poker player among the top players. This is what AeJones said about him in his blog during the week:

"Speaking of running amazing, Elky is a perfect example- He basically doesn't even play poker, he just randomly clicks buttons like a video game, and he wins the PCA and gets second yesterday in a 25k HU tournament? Life isn't fair. The guy probably has a 1m+ bankroll and is atrocious at poker, probably a 3-6 winner at best, maaaybe 5-10. Either way, he's just run amazing. I was in that HU tournament, I played terribly and didn't make a pair and got a terrible draw; I was in the PCA, I got aces in preflop to twos and did not come out a champion. I'm getting good at complaining lately, but this feels like one of those spots where I just want to castrate this guy and hang him by his toes. Elky and Stevesbets got top two in a 25k HU tournament- seriously! Neither of them knows how to tie their own shoes, relatively speaking in poker terms, but all I can do is sit back and pray that they bring it to high stakes cash."

Stevesbets on Elky, heads up final.

I should also mention that I was actually being totally serious when I wanted to chop 50/50 when I was down 3-1 in chips. He turned it down, but that was the only point I would have actually chopped with him.

This does mean that we play flips on stars, we could all get our money confiscated? Or only if someone mentions it in chat?

It was a rebuy, so I presume by going all in blind, he was helping one of his mates.

I doubt the micro stakes PLO flips are high on their radar
I reckon its just setting precedence in High profile tourneys
