No Need To Stand

Eli Elezra made it 1,500 to go preflop when a player in late position moved all in for 4,900. Action folded around to Eli who, after thinking about it, decided that it wasn't too much to call.

"I can call you with my garbage because I'm priced in at this point," and Eli dropped a few chips into the pot as he called. Eli showed 9-8 and was up against his opponent's pocket kings. His opponent stood up as the dealer started to show the flop and Eli said, "Why are you standing? You've got kings."

Eli lost the hand, but still has over 80,000 in chips.
