Elezra Doubles Through Matusow
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Eli Elezra limped in from middle position, Mike Matusow raised to 19,000 from the small blind, and Elezra called.
The flop came 
and Matusow announced a pot-sized bet of 43,000. Elezra jammed for 113,000 and Matusow called with the larger of the two stacks by a wide margin.
Eli Elezra: 
Mike Matusow: 
Elezra had the lead with trip tens while Matusow had an open-ended straight draw in addition to his aces. The 
on the turn was no help to either player and the 
river gave Elezra tens full, so he took the pot to double up.
