"Fresh off of a third-place finish at the WPT Championship earlier this week, Grospellier spent Day 1a of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour's Grand Final searching for a world record.

The French pro played an incredible 62 $6.50 PokerStars SNGs in sixty minutes, playing on four-monitors on the final table set with his every move broadcast to an enthusiastic audience.

ElkY needed to turn a profit to clinch the record, and needed to cash in the final tournament to finish in the black.

He would do better than cash, defeating player "King Sampie" in a spirited heads-up battle to claim the game and the record with a $23.67 profit."

I think he's like Cyclops in that he never takes them off, or he'd kill someone.

That's an awful lot of effort for $23.67


CBI's look a bit better now :)

That's completely stupid. I mean, I love ElkY, but that record is bogus. Boku's $10 - $10,0000 sng record in 15 days was much cooler (only $16 sngs or less).
