Royal Flush Poker

Eli Elezra was born on the 24th of November 1960 in Israel, but resides and spends much of his time in Las Vegas these days pursuing both his interest in poker, and his business prospects. After suffering a leg injury in the army he began to devote large amounts of his time to poker, and rapidly became very astute at the game. He has finished in the money in several separate WSOP events and has also been seen on televised poker games, most notably ‘High Stakes Poker’. He has a no limit holdem WPT title to his name which he won in 2004, and also one WSOP bracelet which he won in 2007 at the World Championship seven card stud hi/lo event, where he beat Scotty Nguyen to take the title and first place winnings of almost $200,000. Interestingly he had a private bet with another player that he would win his first World Series bracelet that year, and pocketed $250,000 alone from that wager making it a more lucrative win than his first placed prize money.

As well as being an excellent poker player Eli also devotes a great deal of time to his family as well as running his own businesses in Las Vegas, he is arguably more successful at limit poker than no limit, and can often be found playing high stakes limit holdem in the big casinos on the strip. He is also proficient in tournament play too and has estimated earnings at tournaments alone, of over $1.3 million. After his recently acquired first WSOP bracelet, I would certainly expect to see Eli entering several more events this year in search of a second, and unlike one particular player last year, I definitely wouldn?t bet against him winning one.
