Aljawhari Catches Elyashiv Speeding
Rayan Aljawhari opened to 12,000 from middle position and Eliyahu Elyashiv defended from the big blind.
The flop came A?7?6?. Elyashiv checked and Aljawhari bet 12,000. Elyashiv check-raised to 31,000 and Aljawhari called.
On the 4? turn Elyashiv moved all in, covering Aljawhari who had 142,000 behind.
"Why?" Aljawhari enquired, to which Elyashiv said nothing. After taking a couple minutes to consider his options Aljawhari stuck in the call and was at risk.
"You're good" Elyashiv told his opponent before the hands were tabled.
Eliyahu Elyashiv: K?2?
Rayan Aljawhari: 8?8?
Aljawhari was a big favorite and just needed to fade three outs to extend his tournament life. The 6? river changed nothing and Aljawhari doubled up through Elyashiv who was left with under 15 big blinds.
