ElkY World Record Attempt

<img src="http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Raidern/09april/telkychallenge.jpg" align="right" style="margin:8px; border:1px solid black;">Two days after finishing 3rd at the WPT Championships, Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier will try to set a new world record in online poker. On April 28, 13h ET (tomorrow), he will try to be the player with the highest number of sit & go's played at the same time. It's not the first time Elky tries to set a record in poker. A couple years ago, he marked his name in PokerStar's history by becoming the first player ever to reach Supernova Elite Status.

The World Record attempt will take place in Monte Carlo, France, during the grand final of the European Poker Tour. It's obvious that Elky can't play the sit & go's alone, and they are open to anyone who wants to take part on it. Everyone that plays in one of the S&G will earn a ticket to a special freeroll with a $1,000 guaranteed prize pool. The freeroll will take place on May 6, at PokerStars. To be part of Elky's record attempt, all you have to do is:

* Open the PokerStars lobby and click 'Requests'.
* Select 'Find a Team PokerStars Player'.
* Click on ElkY to see a list of tables he will be playing on.

In order for the record to be valid, Elky must follow some rules:

* He has just one hour to open as many $6.50 Sit & Go’s as he can.
* He has to finish playing at all the tables he’s sat down at.
* He must finish with an overall positive bankroll.

PokerStars will be filming the event, so you can watch it at www.pokerstars.tv one day later, on April 29, 11h ET.

what's the current record? and wtf, finish with a positive br?? that's tough

i can play nl2 24 tables with positive winrate? am i teh record winnar

I'm pretty sure he won't open only 24, more like 50+

137!

wait, overall positive bankroll? So, does that mean that he could start with a 1M bank roll, open 1000 of those 6.50 SnGs, lose ALL of them, and still get the record? Doesn't sound very hard to me.

... obv it means he has to show profit

so sick

ElkY is such an epic hero. God.

wait so if i be a duche bag and play alll of these sit and goes too then he wont break the record right? assuming i run good LOL

yeah, this will be tough b/c everybody is gunning to take out elky.

I'm guessing you need someone from the site to be sitting next to you and verify that its one guy playing all of them.

finishing positive is gonna be the hard part, hope he gets lucky, if hes unlucky he'll never finish positive.

i bet if people just started calling him bertrand everyone would be like who are you talking about is this some new guy

this boku87 guy who had a prop bet about sng's he played about 60 of em iirc (there is an older vid on youtube of him playing like 50 sngs on stars)

seems sick for elky to do more and actually turn a profit

is he playing w/ tableninja?

this is retarded

elky is gonna have to play 100 IMO

which is insane to think about lol

what's the current record?

and does he get to use any huds / tableninja type of programs?

at least he's playing the micro stakes so competition will be soft as long as good players aren't assholes and sit at his tables to give him trouble, hehe
