Team America's Johnny Chan limped in from the button before Team Europe's Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checked his option in the big blind. The flop came down {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Grospellier bet 5,000. Chan raised to 25,000 and then Grospellier reraised all in for 67,000. Chan called.

Grospellier: {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Chan: {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The turn was the {2d| and river the {8-Spades}. Both kept Grospellier in the lead for Team Europe and he doubled up.

Team Europe now has 142,000 to Team America's 58,000.

No Tony G or Jake Cody

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Both Tony G and Jake Cody had to leave the 2011 Caesars Cup because they are still in the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, which you can follow along with here. If they finish anytime soon in that, they'll most likely return here, but we'll wish them the best and hopefully we don't see their faces up here.

Team Europe is down to just three players now, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Gus Hansen and Max Lykov.
