Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Eli Elzra has just done something he tells us he has never done before, and thats check the nuts when he didn't even realize he had them. He now swears in jest that he was going to go for the check-raise though.
Andrew Pantling put in a min-raise from the button and Elezra made the call from the button.
The flop turned over 
and Elezra check-called the 3,000 chip bet of Pantling. The turn brought the 
and with it a couple of checks. The river saw the 
hit the felt and both players again checked.
At this point Elezra asked if his opponent beat a straight as he turned over his 
. Pantling then pointed out that Elezra had a flush. Elezra then looked and realized hrm, he did have a flush, that is before looking closer and realizing he had a straight flush.
Andy Bloch and the other players at the table then joked about Elezra getting a penalty for checking down the nuts. For your information, if he had have just smooth-called a bet with the nuts Elezra would have in fact got the very penalty they joke about.
