Patience Pays for Ellis

After displaying the patience of a chess master, Mike Ellis has finally been rewarded with a double-up and now sits on 120,000.

Admittedly, he needed a little luck to reach that figure, his all-in squeeze play with K-Q to a 10,000 raise and subsequent call, ultimately being called by A-J.

However, he had two live cards, one of which hit on the otherwise raggy board.
