Aces Up for Elliott

An early-position player limped, the small blind called and Sherman Elliott checked his option in the big blind. The flop was {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {2-Clubs}. The blinds checked and the EP player bet 225. The small blind folded and Elliott called. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and both players checked. The river was the {J-Hearts}. Elliot bet 700 and the EP player called.

Elliott showed {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} for two pair and his opponent mucked angrily. After taking a few early hits, Elliott is back up to 18,600.
