The six-handed action on this week’s Poker After Dark included some legendary poker pros including Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow, Antonio Esfandiari, Eli Elezra, Barry Greenstein and Bodog’s own David Williams.

The mood was set early when Elezra went out on the first hand when his A-K ran into Lederer’s pocket Aces. Elezra bought back in for $20,000 boosting the prize pool to $140,000. With aggression being the flavor of the day two more players, Matusow and Greenstein, were both soon knocked out.

Matusow, thwarted for umpteenth time on Poker After Dark, probably had a cab waiting for him outside.

After riding the roller-coaster of aggressive poker play Elezra busted out after losing a race against Esfandiari.

Next to go was Lederer when he was all-in with pocket Aces against Williams’ pair of Jacks. Unfortuntely for Lederer a Jack on the River meant it was time to hit the road while Williams went heads-up against Esfandiari.

The final hand saw Esfandiari all-in with A-5 against Williams’ pocket 7s. The 7s held and Team Bodog’s David Williams won the $140,00 prize pool.
