How much did they bet?

According to pokernews, it seems to be $25k. Elezra won, so Barry owes him $250k, which was more than 1st place paid.

Did Elezra actually win or was it a deal?

I thought that might've been the case right after the break too, the first couple of hands looked kinda suspicious. Scotty did make a comeback afterwards but who knows what the plan was between the two. It wouldn't be hard to keep the charade going for awhile.

Why aren't they allowed to discuss deals at the table anyway? It's perfectly acceptable online and I don't see the harm in it. The fact they were willing to discuss it at the table makes it look better, but if it's a known rule to not discuss deals, it again could be a cover for throwing the bracelet.

This is Eli Elezra's first WSOP bracelet, and before today, he was one of the best poker players in the world without one on his resume. That can't be said anymore.

LOL. When I saw the chipcounts today I was like "Holy [censored] Eli made a FT... HOLY [censored] HE'S THE CHIPLEADER.."
I still wouldn't lay 10/1 at the start of today's FT (although it looked like he'd still have his work cut-out with some of those names) but it's def an ez bet for Barry before today, and I think he did make it before the WSOP.

I'd lay 10-1 that Eli Elezra winning a bracelet is a misprint

He did win a WPT, how bad can the guy be? ok so he looks bad on tv nl cash games but then again so does Hellmuth but it doesn't mean he isn't a winner at other forms of poker (tournament, limit etc)
