Let's not close this thread yet, even though the signal to noise ratio isn't very good at this point though.

Anyone who thinks the Abe account is eli is absolutely crazy, that makes 0 sense.

Good info is pouring in slowly still, needless to say don't lend eli money because he owes a bunch of people money and he isn't paying it back at a reasonable rate.

Yes

Like a reading a good mystery and losing the book before you read the final chapter to found out whodoneit.

if poster(s) behind the Abe accts dont come on and give us the final chapter and let us know who they are and where this all ended up with Eli, and more details on the big "set up" then pretty much what @horus said

Ok. So is David certain at this point it was Abe he spoke to?

Also, I recall you spoke to someone who said she was Leesa.

Do you think that person was/was not Leesa? Is Leesa in fact Abe's gf/wife?

If David did indeed for sure talk to Abe, Abe's cred is shot imo. Leaves this reader wondering even about the $835k and if there is more to that story as Eli alledges.

The 853k, not 835, is widely known to be true. Afaik

And the bait has been cast out on a line for Abe...

Show your work. Source?

Not much is known for sure anymore.

”Abe” has given us two or three “final chapters” and explanations, and the idea that anything “Abe” writes now providing closure is silly.

cliffs would be nice, from what I gather abe set up this account to bait eli into showing us what eli does?

wow

That account was made to troll everyone.

Didn't Eli himself say he owed the money on the podcast?

Eli admitted to it in the pokernews article:


https://www.pokernews.com/news/2019/...ions-33257.htm


"Elezra recognizes the number of $853,000 that the 'AbeandLeesa' account speaks of, saying that he received it from Mosseri in a time where Elezra was with no doubt good for it with Full Tilt Poker sponsorship money coming in every month."

All I know is I am glad the guy got banned who kept typing with ?

It’s like everytime I read it there’s upspeak?

It’s annoying?

Cliffs?

If I call you and say my name is Steve and threaten to harm you, but later it’s found out my name is in fact Mike. Does that prove I never threatened you?

That’s what Abe is claiming...

Obviously it only means I mis-represented myself as Steve when in fact I am Mike...nonetheless, the fact I threatened you still stands...

At this point it’s clear both Eli and Abe lack credibility.

I play upstairs at Bellagio almost daily.
I heard Ming laughing how it was all a set up for Eli to go public with crazy stories meaning the real Eli. Ming was so happy that Eli is receiving his due.

Who is Ming?

Please leave thread open for awhile to come. Think we all need some degree of closure, plus it is one of the most entertaining and discussed threads in 2+2 history.

Obviously I think that we can all agree that Abe owes Mat and David a follow-up call that clears up a number of things.

He is HS player in Bobby's room that plays upstairs frequently.

First heard of this story when 2 dudes in suits with Russian accents was asking questions around the poker room abot Eli and a player was showing thier phone. They looked at the players phone for almost 30 minutes. Really strange...

“Well, maybe this seventh brand-new account providing juicy high-stakes gossip will be the real deal.”

haha ....the clown account is back again

Ha I can actually answer this. Aroma Garden Cafe was a restaraunt that opened on S. Rainbow Bvld in Las Vegas circa 2006 or 2007. It was an interesting place. IIRC you walked in and it was like an atrium with a bunch of vegetation, plants etc. and then there was also a restaraunt. It definitely looked like a lot of money was spent on upfit building out the place.

The following is a true story. One day I ate lunch there with some coworkers and didn't know anything about the place before going there. As I'm sitting at my table I notice an interesting painting on the wall. It's a picture of famous mobster characters from movies - Michael Corleone, Henry Hill, Scarface, etc. And then all of the sudden I realize that included in the painting with all these mobsters is none other than semi-famous poker player Eli Elezra! I was very confused by his inclusion, and realized then he must have a stake in this restaraunt for this custom painting to be hanging on the wall. It was very bizarre. I mean I was a poker fanboy back then so I knew who he was, but I have to assume the vast majority people that ate there had no clue.

Anyways, pretty sure the place didn't stay open all that long as Vegas all but died soon after that time. I moved away from Vegas soon after as well though so I have no idea what ultimately happened to it.

How is Leesa?

Exactly.

They definitely jumped the shark (including all the Abe accounts and now this one who my guess is the Abe clan).

Lmao the type of guy to put a big ass painting of himself in his restaurant just screams scum bag.

Hilarious and amazing contribution thanks sheet
