Elias Wins Massive Flip
Level 12
: Blinds 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Action was opened in middle position to 5,000. Ryan McKnight was next to act and put in a three-bet to 18,000. The action was then on Robert Elias on the button who put in a cold four-bet to the tune of 50,000. Middle position folded and action was back on McKnight who five-bet jammed for 129,000 effective. Elias called and the cards hit their backs.
Ryan McKnight: Q?Q?
Robert Elias: A?8?
The flop looked good for McKnight in the form of 7?9?2?. The 5? turn was clean but unfortunately tragedy on the river with the A?.
McKnight hit the rail and Elias dragged a massive pot to catapult him into the chip lead.
