"Mr. River" Doubles Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Joseph Elia in Event #2
Joseph Elia in Event #2

Event #2 winner Joseph Elia is apparently hitting his gin card on the river quite a bit lately. Although, this time it came on the turn AND the river.

With the board showing {10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{A-Spades}, Elia moved all in for 15,500 and his opponent tank-called. Elia showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for Broadway, and his opponent mucked.

"Should we call you Mr. River now?" Andre Smith asked.

"It wasn't the river it was the turn!" Elia responded with a smile.
