Big Stax 1100 (Day 2): Elia Triples Up

Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)

Total Entries: 428
Players Remaining: 33
Chip Average: 648,000 (32 big blinds)

Joe Elia
After Marvin Siegel raised to 50,000 from UTG+1, Joe Elia pushed all-in for his final 185,000.

Another player in cutoff position (whose name we'll get after he's done fuming over this hand) made the call, as did Siegel.

Flop: K 8 7

Siegel checked and his opponent pushed all-in, getting Siegel out of the hand.

Elia: A 10      Cutoff: Ax Ax

"I need runner-runner," said Elia.

Turn: J♠
River: Q

Even though Elia announced that he needed the runners, his opponent didn't initially see the broadway straight and celebrated the hand, but his jubilation was short-lived as Elia won the pot of nearly 600,000 chips.
