A 115,000 Chip Pot....in Razz!!!!

[user628]

This hand just before the break. Playing Razz.

Eli Elezra has won the biggest pot of the tournament on one of the craziest hands our veteran reporter Tom Sexton has seen. After a ton of ram and jam action, Eli Elezra bets blind showing.

{5-Diamonds}

The other players in the hand, and their boards:

Tuan Le - {A-Diamonds}

Chad Brown - {A-Hearts}

David Chiu - {7-Hearts}

Eli had bet out blind, and when the other players who called did, Eli sweated his card, and jumped out of his seat

"Deuce!!" he says elatedly.

He flips up his down cards {2-Hearts}

, and makes {2-Hearts}

as the other players muck dejectedly. Eli is all smiles. They counted the pot for us, cause we couldn't beleive it. It was indeed a $115,000 pot....Eli is up to over 300,000 chips, and the clear leader at this point.

Note: The suits of the cards are not 100% accurate.

Lucky "10" on the End

[user38420]

In a three-way pot between Ali Eslami, Mike Sexton and Dewey Tomko, the board came {5-Hearts}

-A-10. All three showed A-2 for the same low and a three-way split. Sexton was the only one to make a pair when he caught a 10 on the river, and took the high. After the hand Sexton was up to 120,000, Tomko had 135,000 and Eslami was at 100,000.

Small Change Maybe, But it's Mine

[user38420]

David Grey wants his change, Now! Evidently the dealer took a little too long to give Grey his change from the pot (about 2000) and he was making a point of it. Bari Sklar decided to be the peace-maker and induce an apology. He wasn't making much progress and Bill Gazes just wanted to move to another table rather than listen to the banter. Sam Farha took the opportunity to lean back in his chair and relax. "Come on David, just apologize to the dealer. It's only 2,000 anyway." "I don't care, it's my 2,000," Grey said. Back and forth, until Bill Gazes finally asked the floor if he could move to another table. The dealer continued to deal, and all settled back into playing their cards. Sklar mumbled, "it was only 2,000." Grey just ignored him and went on to play the next hand.
