Friedman and Kessler Both Take a Small Hit from Hila Elezra

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Perry Friedman: {x-}{x-}/{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}/{x-}
Hila Elezra: {x-}{x-}/{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}/{x-}
Allen Kessler: {x-}{x-}/{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} — Folded on fifth
Opponent: {x-}{x-}/{A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} — Folded of fifth

Allen Kessler completed and he was called by three players including Perry Friedman and Hila Elezra, who is the wife of Eli Elezra, also in the tournament.

On fourth, action checked to Elezra and she bet. All three of her opponents called. On fifth, Elezra bet again but this time only Friedman called.

On sixth street, Elezra one more time and Friedman called one more time. Friedman called one final bet on seventh street, but he was shown {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a pair and a low. It was good enough to take down the pot so Friedman sent over the chips, leaving himself with right around 15,000. Elezra took down the pot and chipped up to 15,000.

Her husband, Eli, mentioned that Hila only plays one tournament every year, and she's been chugging along so far, making through the first nine levels of the day.
