Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier has won his first competitive Hearthstone competition since joining Team Liquid. He topped a field of 69 players in the Insomnia Truesilver Championship Redemption Cup at the Birmingham NEC.

Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier first cashed in a live poker tournament in February 2015 finishing ninth in a €550 side event at the European Poker Tour (EPT) festival in Deauville. He earned €2,000 for his efforts.

Since breaking through the live tournament cash hymen, ElkY has gone on to repeat that feat a further 104 times, making an astonishing $10.9m, and winning some of the biggest titles in the game.

Could history repeat itself?
