Elezra Walks Away, Binks River
Level 10
: Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Picking up the action on the turn on a board reading 7♥6♥6♦2♣, Eli Elezra was all in and at risk from under the gun with side action ongoing between Maria Ho on the button and David Lieberman in the big blind.
Lieberman checked to Ho, who bet, prompting Elezra to stand up and walk away from the table. Lieberman made the call to see the river.
The Q♣ rolled off the deck on the river and both Ho and Lieberman checked to showdown. Ho tabled 9♣9♥, good enough to best Lieberman for the side pot but Elezra held Q♦10♥ for the rivered pair to take down the main pot. By this point, he was halfway across the room and had to be called back to the table by Ho. "Oldest trick in the book," Elezra explained to the table as he re-took his seat.
