Event #48: $1,500 Seven Card Stud

Heads-up play started with Benjamin Lazer winning most pots on third or fourth street, partly helped by Eli Elezra being the bring in approx. 80% of the time. Recently though, Elezra has been firing back, winning a couple of pots by raising on third street after Lazer completes, and in one particular hand Elezra makes it two bets showing   after Lazer completes showing  , and the pair head to fourth street.

Elezra - (X)(X) -      - (X)
Lazer - (X)(X) -      / (X)

On fourth street Lazer leads out for one bet and Elezra elects to call. On fifth street, however, Elezra takes the lead with an open pair of tens and bets. Lazer calls, and retakes the lead on sixth street when he pairs his jack. He elects to check, and Elezra instantly bets. Lazer calls, and on seventh street Elezra is holding chips out ready to bet as Lazer squeezes his down card before checking. Elezra opens his hand to drop the chips in and Lazer goes into the tank before folding.

Eli Elezra - 700,000
Benjamin Lazer - 1,740,000
