Elezra Takes on Iversen

[user46298]

With a stack best described as low, verging on desperate, Eli Elezra got involved in a Stud hand with Scandinavian tournament specialist Torstein Iversen, erstwhile member of the Team Norsemen, Scandinavian scourge of the EPT etc. etc. (That makes him sound a bit like a pirate, but he's actually very quiet at the table, applying that calm aggression so typical of the Norwegians.)

Torstein was betting on fifth street like so:

Iversen: (X-X) {3-Hearts}

Elezra: (X-X) {A-Diamonds}

Elezra called, and received an {8-Spades}

while Iversen got the {A-Hearts}

. Another bet from Iversen (the big bet now 1,200) after the final down card was dealt, and Elezra, though down to just 3,400, made the call. He revealed his hole cards to be {A-Spades}
