Timeline

1981

Bertrand Grospellier (born 8 February 1981 in Melun ), also known as ElkY, is a French poker player and former StarCraft: Brood War and Warcraft III esports player.

He has won a World Poker Tour (WPT), a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and a European Poker Tour (EPT) title, giving him the Triple Crown.

He is a partypoker Pro and he currently resides in Prague, Czech Republic.

2001

ElkY was one of the top ranked StarCraft players in the world, having placed second in the World Cyber Games in 2001 and continuing his career in South Korea in the years subsequent including a fourth-place finish in an Ongamenet Starleague.

2002

By 2002, he picked up the newly released WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos and garnered success by finishing second in the televised Ongamenet WarCraft Retail League before retiring.

He has turned his attention to professional poker the last few years.

ElkY was a member of Team PokerStars.

He was the first person ever to reach "Supernova" and "Supernova Elite" statuses on PokerStars - having earned 100,000 and 1,000,000 player points in 2 weeks, and 4 1⁄2 months, respectively.

He set the Guinness World Record for most Single Table Sit & Goes played in one hour for a total of 62 at a $6.50 buy in with a profit of $23.60.

2007

On Saturday, 20 January 2007, he finished second in the Copenhagen event on the European Poker Tour for 309,000 Euros.

2008

In January 2008, ElkY finished in 1st place winning $2,000,000 at the European Poker Tour's (EPT) PokerStars Caribbean Poker Adventure.

A year later, while being knocked out of the main event of the PokerStars Caribbean Poker Adventure on day 1, ElkY went on to take home the EPT5 $25,000 buy-in "High Roller" side event for $433,500.

In October 2008, ElkY added to his tournament haul by winning the World Poker Tour's Festa al Lago tournament, claiming a $1.4 million first prize.

The win marked ElkY's first-ever cash on the WPT.

He also became just the third person, along with Roland De Wolfe and Gavin Griffin, to win a title on both the WPT and EPT.

As a result of his success on the seventh season of the World Poker Tour, ElkY was awarded the distinction of "WPT Player of the Year."

ElkY was disqualified from event 29 in the 2008 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) for agreeing to go all-in blind with another player.

This violated the tournament rule which states "Poker is an individual (not a team) game. Any action or chat intended to help another player is unethical and is prohibited."

His winnings were forfeited and other places were moved up in the standings to replace his finish.

Two other players (Annette_15 and charder30) had also violated the same rule earlier.

2009

On 18 September 2009, ElkY won his first WCOOP bracelet in event 38.
