Elezra and Rajkumar Go at It

Eli Elezra raised to 18,000 preflop and got a call from Vivek Rajkumar. The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The dealer put the {9-Diamonds} out for the turn card and Vivek bet 24,000. Elezra called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Vivek checked to Elezra. Elezra thought for some time before he decided to bet 40,000. With the action back on Vivek, he took his time to think things out.

After a minute or so, Vivek asked Eli if he would show and Eli said he would show no matter what. Vivek didn't bite on anything and still sat in thought. "I told him I'd show no matter what and he still doesn't fold," said Eli. "Now watch him move all in on me."

Vivek finally made the call and Eli showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a queen-high flush. Vivek checked his hole cards once again and then mucked.

Elezra is now at a whopping 670,000. Vivek is down to 92,000.
