Notable Information

Event 20 was filled with recognizable poker pros, and its final table was no different. But one player predicted he was going to win it and did. Eli Elezra was on a vacation in Mexico with friends recently and told them he was going to win a WSOP bracelet in a stud event this year. His experience in stud is vast, and he had more of it than most of his competitors. “And as I say,” said Elezra, “stud loves me back.” He did find a formidable opponent in Anthony Zinno heads-up, and the two exchanged the chip lead several times. But Elezra trusted his instincts. “I think, in the end, I was mostly lucky,” he said, “because Anthony’s a really good player.” This was Elezra’s fourth career WSOP bracelet. https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1138280822425829376
