Ellis Dodges Everything

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Grant Ellis moved all in for 75,000 on the button and a player under the gun called.

Grant Ellis: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Under-the-Gun Player: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Ellis was ahead but his opponent picked up several outs on the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop, giving him a straight flush draw. He bricked the {7-Spades} turn and the {2-Hearts} river as Ellis held on to win the pot with his ace-kicker and double up.

"You dodged the world, there," a tablemate said.

The next hand, Ellis would win the blinds and antes with a raise to climb above 200,000.
