Elezra Clubs Them All to Death

[user76023]

Eli Elezra limped UTG. Two players came along for the ride, as do the blinds. The flop is {A-Clubs}

The button called and the small blind reraised to 3,075. Action was passed back to Elezra, who reraised to 10,500. The first limper pushed, the button folded, the small blind called all in and Elezra called both of them.

Elezra: {6-Clubs}
