Elezra Gives Some Back

Level 9

Stud:

We caught the action as tournament chip leader Eli Elezra was involved in a hand against a lone opponent.

Elezra: (X)(X) - {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: (X)(X) - {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}

After Elezra completed the 600 chip bet, his opponent made the call. On fourth street Elezra fired a bet of 1,200 and his opponent made the call. The action repeated itself on fifth street, with Elezra betting 1,200 and his opponent coming along.

On sixth street both players slowed down and checked the action. When the dealer tossed each player their last down card on seventh street, Elezra again tapped the table and his opponent seized the moment by firing a bet of 1,200 into the pot. Despite the tremendous pot odds he was being laid, Elezra declined to bite and mucked his hand.

The tournament and high-stakes cash game veteran was not fazed by this turn of events, however, and quickly resumed his march towards the 100,000 chip mark.
