Big Stax 500 (Day 3): Elsby Up And Down Right Away

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 775
Players Remaining: 21

Matt Elsby (Chandler, AZ) came into the level with 1,100,000, but immediately dropped down to 400,000 after doubling up Rocco Derosa.  Only five hands later he would be all-in and at risk against Greg Himmelbrand:

Himmelbrand: K♠ 8♣
Elsby: A♠ J

Flop: K♣ 4 J
Turn: 10
River: Q♠

Elsby shrugged when he saw the flop come out, seemingly accepting the fate that he thought was in front of him.  That would be until the turn and river would run out a straight, giving him the win, and leaving Greg now shaking his head.

Matt Elsby - 1,200,000
Greg Himmelbrand - 970,000
