Yesterday we told you that Bertrand “ElkY†Grospellier was going to attempt to set a world record for the most Sit & Go’s played in one hour. Well after attempting the challenge, Grospellier was able to play 62 SnGs and set a new world record.
The challenge took place at PokerStars and online players were able to get in on the action as Grospellier was playing at $6.50 SNG tables. To set the record, Grospellier had to complete all tournaments entered and make a profit by the end of the hour. Grospellier was at the EPT Monte Carlo event and attempted the hour challenge in front of an audience.
Grospellier played on four different monitors and at one point he had close to thirty tournaments happening at one time. This caused him to time out frequently to handle the action at all the different tables.
By the end of the hour a total of sixty two Turbo SnGs had been played and by the final table Grospellier needed to cash in or he would not make a profit, one of the rules of the competition. Luckily during the final SNG Grospellier went all in with 7-5 and was called by his opponent who had 9-8. The board gave Grospellier a 7 so his pair earned him the win and a profit of $23.60 to set the new world record.
Next up for Grospellier is Day 1B of the EPT Grand Final. It will be interesting to see if the challenge will take a toll on his tournament performance. It may have just pumped him up to play even better than expected.
