Mike Sowers Doubles Through Eli Elezra

With 110,000 already in the pot Mike Sowers and Eli Elezra saw a flop of {10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}. Sowers bet 110,000 and Elezra raised to 300,000, enough to set Sowers all in. He instantly called and showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for the flopped Broadway straight, while Elezra held top pair with {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. After the {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn, Elezra also had the nut flush draw to go with a possible chop if a king spiked, but the river was the {8-Spades} and Sowers won a massive pot. He now has a 700,000 stack, while Elezra fell to around 300,000.
