The Main Event: Where Anyone (and Any Hand) Can Win

Five players, including Eli Elezra limped in and saw a {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. The action was checked around. The turn came the {3-Diamonds} and both blinds checked to Elezra, who bet 550. The cutoff folded and the button raised to 1,800. The small blind called, the big blind folded, and Elezra called, making it three-handed to the river. It was the {K-Hearts} and once again the action checked around.

When it came time to show down a winner, the small blind's {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} took it down. (The button raiser showed {4-Spades}{7-Spades}, BTW)
