Elia From Behind, With A Candlestick, In the Kitchen
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jason Kanel made it 9,000 to go under the gun in the first of the last three hands to play. Joseph Elia fired back with a raise to 24,000 right behind him.
It folded back to Kanel and he bumped it to 79,000. Elia shoved for a bit more than 200,000 total and Kanel snap-called with the ![]()
.
Elia had the ![]()
and Kanel looked like a shoe-in to bag a massive chip lead and send Elia home until the flop fell ![]()
![]()
, making Elia quad queens.
The turn and the river bricked and it's now Elia who looks like the favorite to bag the Day 1a chip lead as play wraps up.
