Elias Picks Up Momentum
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Adrian Buckley opened to 8,000 before Darren Elias defended his big blind from middle position.
Elias check-raised to 16,000 after Buckley made a continuation bet on the K?K?3? flop. Buckley called.
Elias fired another 18,000 into the middle on the 4? turn and Buckley folded after some brief thinking.
The next hand, Anthony Bellino jammed for 33,000 from the cutoff and Elias called from the small blind.
Anthony Bellino: J?3?
Darren Elias: A?5?
Bellino's jam was mistimed and he was still behind following the Q?Q?2? flop. Elias locked up the hand on the A? turn and the 8? completed the board.
