David Elyashar has glided nicely into second place this morning, but he has just had the most amazing blow up. The action folded around to Elyashar in the small blind and he made up the loose change. Florian Schleps was seated in the big blind and he raised it up to 30,000. Back to Elyashar and he raised it right back up to 70,000. Schleps wasn't too concerned because his next move was to raise to 150,000. Elyashar moved all-in and a rather stunned looking Schleps made the call. He was even more stunned when he saw the hand of Elyashar.
