That said, I don't really think he's playing tight, I think he's card dead. Considering he called something like $10k with deuces,

I sorta liked how he played this hand. Stacks were not that deep, so he probably figured if the flop was all baby cards it would be safe to commit vs. Eli's likely two high cards. Plus he has implied odds to stack Eli if he hits a set and Eli make TP. But he did not reraise pf because he'd have a chance to fold if tight players in the blinds (Phil H or Jen) reraised.

When the turn gave him an open-ender...I don't know, I might have thought it would be better to make another bet and protect the pot rather than hope for more value on the river from an Ace.
