Dutch Goes Up at Eli's Expense

[user75032]

Dutch Boyd -- yes that Dutch Boyd -- is in the field and doing well to start the day. He tangled with Eli Elezra and emerged victorious. We picked the action up on fifth street, with Boyd showing x-x / {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

and Elezra showing x-x / {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

. Boyd check-called a bet to sixth street, where each player caught ten. Boyd check-called again.

On the river, it was a third check for Boyd. Elezra fired one more time, and Boyd clled one more time with {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

for trip eights. That beat Elezra's aces up to give Dutch the pot and a total count of 51,000.

Elezra is down to 29,000.
