Double for Elezra, Who Likes a Sweat

Having lost a big pot earlier to Scott Seiver (in which Seiver ended up showing down hole card three-of-a-kind eights, a surprise to himself with his four-flush draw), Eli Elezra's stack dwindled into the emergency zone. He started betting showing /
against Joshua Mountain with
/
, and didn't stop until he moved all-in on sixth street. Neither did Mountain stop calling, despite Elezra telling him that there was no shame in it, and then announcing to the table, "This guy never folds!"
Elezra: /
Mountain: /
The dealer dealt the rivers face up, to go with the revealed of Elezra and
of Mountain, but the latter's
final card couldn't help vs. Elezra's trip queens.
A tablemate requested that the last card always be dealt down. Elezra agreed, saying, "There's no way I'm not going to sweat it! I love sweating. I paid $1,500 for this tournament, I'm going to sweat it."
The very next hand, Mountain lost a 100,000+ pot to Scott Seiver, meaning this last level has been pretty expensive for him.
