Props Down Under

[user25067]

Eli Elezra has appeared to have absconded with a couple of our reporters' notebooks to keep track of his "props" with Phil Ivey. For the uninitiated, props are high-stakes bets on what exact three cards will hit the flop. Elezra's sheet has two separate columns-- one with a slew of three-card combinations and the other with a running tally of the score. Ivey has a similar sheet with the three card combinations he has bet on.

Elezra looked to be up just slightly as this reporter passed their table. Stay tuned...
