Dario Can't Run Airball Past Elezra

Eli Elezra
Eli Elezra
When Eli Elezra and Dario Minieri play a pot together, you make sure you stay and watch because you know there's about to be some action.

They didn't let us down in a recent hand with Elezra opening the action with a raise before Minieri three-bet. Elezra called and they saw a flop of {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Elezra checked, Minieri bet, Elezra raised, Minieri reraised and Elezra called.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and produced a more civilized check, bet, call, again with Minieri as the aggressor.

The hyper-aggression kicked in on the {A-Clubs} river. Elezra led with a bet, before Minieri put in another raise. Elezra then made yet another raise, and incredibly Minieri was on an air-ball as he folded for just one more bet.

Elezra claimed he held {A-?}{8-?} as he raked in the pot to move up to 68,000 with Minieri slipping to 38,000 late in the evening.
