Eli Elezra responds to debt claims; The Borgata follows Ivey to Vegas

Eli Elezra speaks to PokerNews over allegations that he owes outstanding debts to Cole South, Abe Mosseri and Shaun Deeb, and The Borgata successfully file a motion to docket its outstanding $10.16m judgment in the state of Nevada.

From the phonograph to the tape deck to the jukebox to the beatbox to the Bang & Olufson 9000, to the iPod to Spotify – it doesn’t matter what format you choose there is always one broken record, and in poker, that’s the one that tells the sordid tale of the man who thinks it’s ok not to pay debts because in poker that’s ok.

When Eli Elezra agreed to appear in an Ask Me Anything on 2+2 in a bid to market his new book Pulling the Trigger: The Autobiography of Poker Pro Eli Elezra, the three-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner would have been a tad apprehensive, but nothing would have prepared him from what happened next.

After answering a question about where Elezra got the money to play in the high stakes games with “I always have 100% of myself,” and “I always pay my debts,” Cole South came forward with a different story.
