No Limit Hold'em
Eli Elezra has been grinding the short stack for awhile. No limit was going to be a make or break round for him. He raised one hand to 8,700 and took down the blinds. Then he raised the next hand the same amount, and Andy Bloch defended his big blind. Bloch checked the 
flop, and Elezra bet 12,500, knocking the stacked bet toward Bloch. Andy made the call.
Bloch checked the 
turn to allow Elezra to stick in the rest of his 29,000-chip stack. Elezra took his time about it, shuffling the whole thing for a minute before putting it in the middle. Bloch called.
Elezra: 
- aces with a jack kicker
Bloch: 
- aces with a six kicker and an open-ended straight draw
Bloch had plenty of outs to eliminate Elezra, but the 
river was a brick. Elezra doubled to 95,000, leaving Bloch with just 32,000.
