Elpayaa On Heaps After Double Knockout
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 200 ante
Two players were already all in when we got to Joe Elpayaa's table, with Elpayaa in the cutoff and a middle-position player still live in the pot. The main pot contained about 25,000, a side pot for the other all-in player contained just a few thousand, and there was another side pot between Elpayaa and the middle player for about 10,000 more.
On the 
flop, the middle player check-called 9,500. On the 
turn, Elpayaa set him in for about 30,000 and the player thought briefly and folded.
Elpayaa showed 
and had everyone dead to a chop as one player had 
and the other 
. The river was the 
and Elpayaa took the whole pot.
