Steve Elliott Doubles Through Grant Heslov

Steve Elliott is all in preflop from the cutoff for 235,000, and Academy-Award nominated writer-producer Grant Heslov calls from the big blind with [AcQc]. Elliott shows [As2c], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive. 

The flop comes [Qh6c2s], with the queen in the window. As soon as he sees the queen, Elliott stands up and prepares to leave. 

But the turn card pairs the board with the [2d], giving Elliott the lead with trip deuces. The river card is the [5h], and Steve Elliott wins the pot with three of a kind to double up in chips. 

After the hand, Grant Heslov says, "That wasn’t fun."

Grant Heslov  –  840,000
Steve Elliott  –  520,000
