Mittelman Doubles Through Elia

Kevin Elia opened to 80,000 from the cutoff position and directly behind him, Niel Mittelman called from the button. Everyone else got out of the way and it was heads-up going to the flop.

Flop: {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Elia checked to Mittelman, who fired 80,000 into the middle. Elia then check-raised to 185,000 and Mettelman made the call.

The turn brought a {4-Hearts} and Elia pushed all in. Mittelman tanked, but eventually called all in for 1,125,000 and hands were revealed.

Mittelman: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a set of fours.
Elia: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for queen-high.

Elia was drawing to a chop, but the {4-Hearts} river left Mittelman with quads and he doubled through to 2,225,000.

Elia is down to 600,000 following the massive blow.
