Elezra Over 10K

We caught up with the action on a completed board reading {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades} with a sizable pot already in the middle. Eli Elezra was heads-up in a pot against an unknown opponent.

Elezra's opponent underbet the pot for 350 from early position. Elezra, who was directly behind him, responded by raising to 1,250. His opponent gave it up after some thought and Elezra scooped the pot.

Elezra is up to 10,500.

Channing Sends One to The Rail

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player in late position open-pushed all in for his last 1,200 and directly behind him, Neil Channing also pushed all in. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.

Channing: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Channing was in bad shape, however, a queen came right in the window on the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop.

"...That's a good flop," Channing said under his breath.

The {J-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river changed nothing and Channing took the rest of his opponents' chips.

Channing, who recently got second place in Event 43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, is up to 4,500.

Hays Crippled

We caught up with the action just as the hand was ending, but it appeared that a player had gotten all in against Foster Hays on a {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop. Hays held the the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} while his opponent had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The {Q-Clubs} turn and {4-Diamonds} river left Hays' opponent with a full house and he doubled through Hays - leaving him with just 225 behind.

Affleck Up Early

We caught up with the action on a {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} flop, where Matt Affleck was in a heads-up pot. His lone opponent bet 150 from the cutoff seat and Affleck raised to 500 after some thought. His opponent shook his head and mucked - conceding the pot to Affleck.

Affleck is sitting on 4,700 at the moment.
