Elezra Pushing for the Overnight Lead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Eli Elezra has been guarding a huge stack for a while and he keeps adding to his piles in the last level. Elezra just seized another chunk in the following hand.

He was in the small blind, facing a raise to 3,500 from a short-stacked player in late position. Igor Sharaskin called on the button and Elezra came along.

The {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop saw Elezra check to the opener who moved all in for his last 500. Sharaskin and Elezra both called and they checked the {2-Clubs} turn and the {J-Spades} river.

Elezra announced ace-jack, turning up {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and neither of his opponents could beat that. Elezra moved up to 133,000 with the average stack showing just over 31,000 at the moment.

With around 40-minutes left to play on Day 1, Elezra is a hot contender for the overnight chip lead.
