Natural8 GGSeries 2020s: Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier joins the action; Multi Account banks the most again
Numbers rising all across the board as another Natural8 GGSeries 2020s day wrapped up. The series opened on April 5 and is scheduled to run for 22 days to close on April 26. Day 12 served up another 51 games with 25,900 entrants filling up the virtual felt. It amassed a prize pool of $ 2,654,430 which meant the series has now paid out approximately $ 33.6 million. For those just hearing of this huge event, plenty of cash yet to be won with the event guaranteeing $ 50 million.
Sending a flurry of excitement on Day 12 was triple crown winner Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellierwho was seen in action. Just yesterday, GGPoker announced ElkY’s addition to the growing list of Team GGPoker Ambassadors that include Daniel Negreanu, Bryn Kenney, and Felipe Ramos.
In the GGPoker announcement, ElkY said,
“ I am excited to join GGPoker, the most ambitious poker site. With clear focus on software and making poker fun again, there has never been a better place to play online poker.”
Head of GGPoker, Jean-Christophe Antoine, also expressed sentiment,
“Team GGPoker continues to go from strength to strength, and having ElkY on board just amplifies this even more. With a poker and esports legend like ElkY representing our brand, the GGPoker community will be in for a real treat – all i can recommend is to watch this space!”
In a GGPoker video release, ElkY shared his top GGPoker features. The staking feature ranked as his favorite where one can buy and sell pieces of action; another was buying insurance for those bad beat moments; he also particularly liked the ability to squeeze the cards to mimic a live feel.
Welcome aboard @elkypoker the newest brand ambassador for @GGPokerOfficial!
Super excited to have Elky on board, what a great addition!
