Elezra Leading Nearly 3:1 in Chips after Another Big Hand

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Eli Elezra just won another big hand that ended with Anthony Zinno in the tank for around five full minutes. Both players paired on sixth street:

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Zinno bet and Elezra raised (a raise now worth 180,000). Zinno made the call. On seventh street, Zinno checked and Elezra bet. Zinno made a deep dive into the tank, the table quiet and the rail tense. When he folded, Elezra's supporters let out a cheer, their man now back over 2,000,000 in chips.

Zinno Picked Off Again

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Eli Elezra completed with the {j-Clubs} and Anthony Zinno called with the {9-Spades}. It was Zinno who started betting after picking up the {a-Hearts}, though, and Elezra called him down.

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{9-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}/{x-}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades}/{x-}

Zinno bet the end and Elezra called but Zinno could only muster {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, playing just his nines. Elezra had {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} for queens.

Elezra Bets Strongly into Zinno's Queens

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Eli Elezra started the hand off with a raise (showing {8-Clubs} after Anthony Zinno made up the bring-in to 30,000 showing the {q-Clubs}. Zinno called, pairing his queen and leading out with a bet. Elezra, who'd picked up the {9-Spades}, raised again into the pair of queens, and Zinno called. Zinno now went into check-call mode over fifth and sixth streets, until their hands stood:

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}/{x-}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}/{x-}

Elezra bet one more time, and after a brief ponder, Zinno gave up the pot.

Fair Fight Goes Zinno's Way

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Anthony Zinno completed with the {q-Diamonds}, Eli Elezra raised with the {7-Spades} and Zinno three-bet it. Elezra called and then raised the turn when each player had a suited queen-high board. He bet fifth as well but both players checked sixth with strikingly similar boards.

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}/{x-}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{7-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}/{x-}

Zinno bet on the end and Elezra took about 30 seconds then threw his cards away.

Zinno Takes One with Two Pair

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Eli Elezra started out the betting with another complete to 30,000, and continued to lead out through the streets despite Anthony Zinno tossing in a raise on fourth street (which he called).

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{x-}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{x-}

There was no river bet, and Zinno tabled {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}/{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades} for a winning two pair, threes and fours.

Rivers Have Dried Up

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

The last 15 hands have been won early doors, with none getting past fifth street and the majority simply won with a complete to the small bet of 30,000. Neither player has made inroads on the other's stack; chips are as they were at the start of the level.

Queens No Good for Elezra

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Anthony Zinno defended the {8-Spades} bring-in against a completion by Eli Elezra with the {q-Hearts}, but Zinno came out firing on fourth with the {k-Spades} and bet every subsequent street.

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{8-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}/{x-}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}/{x-}

Elezra quickly called and Zinno showed {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for kings. Elezra showed the {q-Spades}.

Reluctant River Fold for Elezra

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

First hand back after the break, Anthony Zinno bet every street, snap-called all the way to the river by Elezra.

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}/{x-}
Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}/{x-}

The final 60,000 gave Elezra pause, however, and after looking at his hole cards and replacing them on their designated spots on the table, he threw his hand away.
