Eli Elezra has been slowly chipping up for most of the day. Elezra is content to play small ball poker and avoid any big early confrontations. In a recent pot he was able to get a call out of an opponent who held A-Q high on a board of {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Elezra had {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for only a pair of eights but that was enough to take down another small pot as he moves to around 33,000 chips.

Penalty for Sam Youssef

Sam Youssef was issued a penalty for allegedly flipping over an opponent's hand that was tossed into the muck. The incident went down on the last hand before the previous break. Youssef folded to a bet on the river. When the dealer pushed the pot to the winning player, that player tossed his hand into the muck. Youssef allegedly turned over the cards to see what the winner hand. That's why he was given a penalty where he had to sit out two full orbits.
