Elwood Quickly Brings Roberts Back Down

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kevin Elwood
Kevin Elwood

Shortly after winning the big pot off Ricky Gebhart, John Roberts got involved in another pot against Kevin Elwood as they went to the turn on a board of 8♦7♥J♣7♣. Elwood then got in his last 80,000 from the hijack, and Roberts put him at risk in the cutoff.

Roberts showed A♣A♠, but Elwood had turned trips with 7♦5♥. The river was the J♦, and Elwood improved to a full house to earn the double up.
