Bloom Picks Off Elezra's Bluff

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Eli Elezra checked, Tony Bloom bet 9,000 and Elezra called. The turn was the {A-Spades} and both players checked. The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Elezra fired out 15,000 and after a long think, Tony Bloom made the call. Elezra showed {5-Spades}{6-Spades} for a stone bluff after he missed his straight draw, while Bloom turned up {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for aces and eights and won the pot.

Props Down Under

Eli Elezra has appeared to have absconded with a couple of our reporters' notebooks to keep track of his "props" with Phil Ivey. For the uninitiated, props are high-stakes bets on what exact three cards will hit the flop. Elezra's sheet has two separate columns-- one with a slew of three-card combinations and the other with a running tally of the score. Ivey has a similar sheet with the three card combinations he has bet on.

Elezra looked to be up just slightly as this reporter passed their table. Stay tuned...

Timex Takes a Licking

Michael "Timex" McDonald had a tough table draw with Howard Lederer, Tony Bloom, Allen Cunningham, Michael Sampoerna, Eli Elezra, Dan Shak, and Phil Ivey. The 18-year old from Canada is down to 50,000 after he lost a pot to Tony Bloom. Bloom had flopped trips with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and took a chunk out of Timex's stack.
