Dwan Still Causing Elezra (and Himself) Pain

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

It's like an episode of High Stakes Poker in the back corner of the tournament area. Erick Lindgren and Howard Lederer are sitting next to each other, and one table over, Tom Dwan and Eli Elezra are in just about every pot together.

In the latest hand, Dwan raised under the gun to 525, and Elezra called. The big blind joined them to see the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. The big blind checked, and Dwan eyed the guy's stack before pointing at Eli. Elezra took the bait and bet 1,225. The big blind flatted, and action back on Dwan, he tossed out around 20,000 - enough chips to put both men all in. Elezra folded quickly, and the big blind happily called all in for about 17,000. "Whoah!" yelled Eli, standing up.

Dwan tabled {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a straight draw. But with {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}, the big blind was already there. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn meant Dwan could only chop with a jack. And the {8-Diamonds} river saw him shipping about two-thirds of his stack to his right. Eli started yelling at Durrrr, claiming he'd folded {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and would have rivered a full house.

Dwan is down to 12,000 and Elezra is in the red zone and has his chips laid out one-high in front of him.
