Eli Elezra Doubles Through Tom Dwan

Pot-limit Omaha:

It's been a rocky start for "durrrr." After opening the pot from UTG for 21,000, Eli Elezra moved all in for 76,000 and Dwan made the call.

Elezra {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades}

Dwan {2-Spades} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

The flop was {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} , Dwan flopping two pair. The turn was the {5-Spades} , but the river was the {Q-Hearts} and Elezra made a better two pair, queens and deuces to take it down and double up to 164,000.

Jeff Madsen Doubles Up

2-7 Triple Draw:

Jeff Madsen and Matt Glantz bet and raise to get Madsen all in before the first draw. Madsen drew two and Glantz drew one. Madsen then stood pat for the rest of the hand, while Glantz drew one and then one more.

Before the final hands were revealed, Madsen flipped over 8-7-5-4-2 to show Glantz what he had to beat. Glantz turned over an 8-5-4-3 and needed a deuce or a six to eliminate Madsen. Glantz said, "Sorry buddy" and flipped over an ace to give Madsen a scare.

Madsen doubled up to around 200,000.

In Triple Draw, Sometimes a Pair Wins

2-7 Triple Draw:

With the action folded around to the small blind, Michael DeMichele raised, Tom Dwan three-bet from the big blind and DeMichele called. DeMichele drew two and Dwan drew one. DeMichele checked, Dwan bet and DeMichele called.

On the second draw each player took one. DeMichele checked, Dwan bet (leaving himself only 15,000 behind) and DeMichele called.

On the third draw each player took one. DeMichele checked and with a sly smile and his signature roll-of-the-eyes, Dwan checked behind.

Dwan rolled over 6-4-3-3-2 for a pair of threes. DeMichele mucked, saying he had a pair of sixes. Dwan raked in the pot and increased his stack to 220,000. DeMichele was left with 250,000.
