Nobody Knows the Hand That Elliot Seen, Nobody Knows But Elliot
After a brief trip across the room to witness Julian Thew doubling through Michael Wang, we returned to Table Todd Brunson to discover that the pot had escalated into a monstrous thing.
The board read and Mr. Small Blind bet out 25,000 -- and back over to Elliot, who raised all in for 28,000 more. Mr. Small Blind made a puffy 'oh no' kind of noise and tanked up for a little while, allowing a team of TV people to congregate around the table in readiness for a showdown. It wasn't to be, though -- Mr. Small Blind folded, and Elliot took the pot.
"Two pair?" hazarded Mr. Small Blind as he assessed the damage to his formerly very healthy stack. "Who knows," was the only response from Elliot.
Either way, he's over 100,000 now.
