Elezra Winning Some

Eli Elezra has just managed to take down a couple of pots in his chatty way and we were there to catch all of his antics.

The first hand saw Elezra open up the action to 500 preflop. Two players made the call and the flop was spread looking like this - {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. The first player to act checked and Elezra fired out 700. One player made the call and a {k-Hearts} hit the turn. This time Elezra bet 1,100 and his opponent asked, "Will you show me if i fold?"

"Yes," replied Elezra as the {4-Hearts} hit the river. Again Elezra bet 1,700 and before his opponent called Elezra said, "I've got kings full." Elezra's opponent then called and Elezra turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. It wasn't quite a full house, but it was enough to send his opponents cards into the muck.

The very next hand and Elezra would have two opponent's all-in preflop.

Elezra: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Opponent 2: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

When the board ran out {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, the player with ace-king was good enough to pick up the main pot with his flush, while Elezra's set was strong enough to take home the side pot and eliminate the other player.

Following the hand Elezra was trying to work out if he gained chips in the pot. When he was satisfied, he suddenly shouted, "More Baileys!" and the table proceeded to laugh. We didn't see an empty glass in front of him, but we assume he is talking about the tasty alcoholic beverage.
