Elezra Sends Chan Out to Sea

Eli Elezra and Johnny Chan
Eli Elezra and Johnny Chan
Eli Elezra is through to the second round. He limped his button with pocket sixes, then called an all-in raise from Johnny Chan, who showed {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. Elezra had the slightest of preflop edges, which increased significantly after Chan completely missed an all-black flop, {J-Clubs} {5-Spades} {3-Spades}. The {K-Diamonds} that hit the turn was no help from Chan; the match was over with the {7-Diamonds} that fell on the river. Elezra and Chan left the set to a round of applause from the gallery; only Elezra will be back tomorrow.
