Elias Strikes Early

Level 1 : Blinds 300/600, 0 ante

Darren Elias raised to 1,600 on the button, and Phil Ivey called.

Ivey put in a check-raise on the 8♣2♣4♠ flop, making it 9,000 after Elias had continued for 3,000.

Ivey then slowed down on the 5♠ turn, check-calling a bet of 16,000.

When the 10♠ completed the board, Ivey checked for a third time, and Elias put 40,000 into the pot. Ivey called, mucking his cards when Elias showed J♠J♦ for the winner.
