Elias Drops More

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 30,000 ante

Darren Elias opened for 60,000 and was called by Jean-Robert Bellande on his left, on the button. Elias took one and Bellande two. Elias bet 125,000 and Bellande called.

We didn't catch Elias' holding, but it was inferior to Bellande's {9-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{2-}, whatever it was.
