Elezra Takes The Chip Lead
Eli Elezra has wrestled away the chip lead from Benjamin Lazer after two big hands.
Firstly, Elezra is the bring in and calls after Lazer completes. Lazer bets fourth street and Elezra calls, before both players check fifth street. Lazer bets sixth street and Elezra calls but on seventh, Lazer leads out only to be met with a raise by Elezra. Lazer calls and Elezra has made a full house on seventh street. Lazer unhappily folds.

Lazer - (X)(X) / / (X) - mucked on seventh
A couple of hands later, Elezra is the bring in again and this time he raises after Lazer completes, only to see Lazer three-bet. Elezra calls, and Lazer bets fourth and fifth with Elezra calling. On sixth, however, Lazer elects to check-call, and on seventh he does the same, commenting that the hand is sick as he has blockers to a straight, but Elezra has made a Broadway straight to win that pot and take the chip lead.
