David Stroj Makes a Big Laydown

Eli Elezra made a raise to 18,000 from the cutoff. David Stroj reraised from the button to 62,000. Then, Andy Bloch came over the top for 177,000 total from the blind. Eli folded and the action was back on Stroj.

Stroj thought for a while and counted out his out chip stack. He would have just about enough for the call. Stroj looked at the tournament monitor to gather more information to help him make his decision. After a few minutes, Stroj folded Q-Q face-up on the table.

Elezra said, "This guy knows how to play the game," in response to Stroj's fold as Bloch mucked his hand. Eli also said, "Mike [Sexton] asked me what took you so long."

Stroj responded, "You know why I folded that? Because he doesn't make that bet into you Eli."
