Elliott Chips Up

Chris Bean

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With 165,000 in the middle, five players saw a flop of K?8?6?. Doyle Elliott shoved for 98,000 and was called by the player in early position. Middle position, the cutoff, and button all folded.

Doyle Elliott: J?8?
Early Position: K?Q?

Early position hit top pair, while Elliott had middle pair and a flush draw. Elliott improved to trips on the 8? turn and improved even further on the 7? river making a flush to take down the pot and move above average stack.
