Elezra Collects Chips, Dispenses Advice
Eric Wasserson raised from under the gun, Eli Elezra three-bet from late position, and both Matthew Smith (big blind) and Wasserson called the three bets. Smith and Wasserson took two cards on the first draw, and after a slight pause Elezra decided to toss back one of his original five.
It checked to Elezra who bet and both of his opponents called. On the second draw Smith took two, Wasserson one, and Elezra one again. Again it checked to Elezra who bet, and again both Smith and Wasserson called.

earlier," continued Elezra to Wes Self on his left, contrasting his own deuce-to-seven strategy with that of others.
"Oh wow," said Self in response. "I've been doing that all tournament… I'll stop now!" he added, and both laughed.
