Eliahu Ilan Elezra[4] (Hebrew: אלי אלעזרא; born 24 November 1960, in Jerusalem) is an Israeli professional poker player and businessman, now living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
With five WSOP bracelets and a WPT win in the post Moneymaker era, he is one of the most successful players since the poker boom.

[10] Before the event, Elezra had made a side bet with Barry Greenstein laying 10:1 odds that he would win a World Series bracelet in 2007.
Later, he moved to the USA where he first began to work in the fish industry in Alaska, before making his way to Las Vegas to become the owner of a successful film-developing business in 1988.
