ElkY will compete at the PCA dressed as Sludge Belcher after losing a Hearthstone exhibition match against Daniel Negreanu at BlizzCon.

Are poker players going to start defecting to Hearthstone?

PokerStars Team Pros Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier and Daniel Negreanu took centre stage at the BlizzCon 2015 convention in Anaheim, California. The pair participated in a best in five Hearthstone exhibition match.

The smart money was on ElkY. The Frenchman joined poker as an elite StarCraft competitor, and has played Hearthstone a lot longer than his colleague, but that didn’t stop Negreanu from claiming victory.
