Elpayaa On Heaps After Double Knockout

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 200 ante
Joe Elpayaa
Joe Elpayaa

Two players were already all in when we got to Joe Elpayaa's table, with Elpayaa in the cutoff and a middle-position player still live in the pot. The main pot contained about 25,000, a side pot for the other all-in player contained just a few thousand, and there was another side pot between Elpayaa and the middle player for about 10,000 more.

On the {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, the middle player check-called 9,500. On the {8-Spades} turn, Elpayaa set him in for about 30,000 and the player thought briefly and folded.

Elpayaa showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and had everyone dead to a chop as one player had {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and the other {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Elpayaa took the whole pot.
