Elezra Doubles Through Matusow

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Eli Elezra limped in from middle position, Mike Matusow raised to 19,000 from the small blind, and Elezra called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Matusow announced a pot-sized bet of 43,000. Elezra jammed for 113,000 and Matusow called with the larger of the two stacks by a wide margin.

Eli Elezra: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Mike Matusow: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Elezra had the lead with trip tens while Matusow had an open-ended straight draw in addition to his aces. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn was no help to either player and the {6-Diamonds} river gave Elezra tens full, so he took the pot to double up.
