Elsby Scores Chip Lead Pot

Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
The action was picked up in a pot of almost 2,000,000 on a board showing A♦9♥2♥3♥. A player in the big blind checked to Matthew Elsby in the cutoff who bet out 1,500,000. The big blind made the call and the pair saw the 6♦ river.
Again the big blind tapped the table for a check and Elsby moved all in, covering the roughly 1,400,000 behind for the big blind, who went deep in the tank.
After close to two minutes of thought, the big blind made the call and the cards were shown. Elsby tabled Q♥J♥ for the turned flush and his opponent opened 9♠9♣ for a flopped set as he made his way to the exit.
