Elefante Stomps on Verner
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jan Verner moved all in from the button, having both opponents in the blinds covered, and Francesco Elefante called for his last 156,000 in the small blind.
Francesco Elefante: A♣K♠
Jan Verner: Q♦8♦
Both players hit a pair on the A♠J♠8♠ flop, but Elefante remained in the lead with his aces. The 7♠ turn improved him to the nut flush, and Verner was already drawing dead by the 5♥ river as he handed over the double up.
