Eli Elezra started off a recent hand by raising to 450. The player in the cut-off obliged and threw in a call. The flop came 
and both players checked. A 
on the turn saw a 675 bet from Elezra, and a call from his opponent.
The 
river brought another bet from Elezra, 400. The cut-off made the call to which Elezra stated "you win, jack high", and Elezra's opponent showed 
for ace high.

Players are now on the second break of the day.
Action folded around to Eli Elezra on the button and he made it 350. The big blind was the only one willing to shovel out the chips and he made the call.
The board came 
and the big blind check-called a bet of 475 from Elezra. A 
on the turn saw both players knuckling the table for checks, while a 
on the river allowed the big blind to check and Elezra to bet out 675. The big blind folded and Elezra took in the pot.

John Cernuto started action of by raising to 450 from the cut-off. Only the big blind was willing to pay and the two players saw a 
flop. The big blind opted to check while Cernuto went the other route and bet out 500. The large blind called and it was off to the turn.
The big blind again checked after the 
appeared on fourth-street. Cernuto then bet out 1,000 and the big blind folded.
