Elezra Chips Up Off Zamani
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Action caught up on the turn in a hand between Marin Zamani in early position and Hall of Famer Eli Elezra in middle position, with Elezra calling a bet of 70,000 on a board reading K♠9♠3♠7♠.
The river brought a second seven in the form of the 7♣ and an unusual request from Zamani.
"Can I just fold?" Asked Zamani to a table of laughs.
"Wait, why can't he fold?" Replied Elezra.
Zamani would check-fold to a bet of 20,000 from Elezra and Zamani's question, perhaps not serious in the moment, was clarified by a floor call that yes, you can open fold in that situation.
