Aljawhari Catches Elyashiv Speeding
Rayan Aljawhari opened to 12,000 from middle position and Eliyahu Elyashiv defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♣7♣6♦. Elyashiv checked and Aljawhari bet 12,000. Elyashiv check-raised to 31,000 and Aljawhari called.
On the 4♠ turn Elyashiv moved all in, covering Aljawhari who had 142,000 behind.
"Why?" Aljawhari enquired, to which Elyashiv said nothing. After taking a couple minutes to consider his options Aljawhari stuck in the call and was at risk.
"You're good" Elyashiv told his opponent before the hands were tabled.
Eliyahu Elyashiv: K♦2♣ 
Rayan Aljawhari: 8♣8♠
Aljawhari was a big favorite and just needed to fade three outs to extend his tournament life. The 6♥ river changed nothing and Aljawhari doubled up through Elyashiv who was left with under 15 big blinds.
