Darren Elias

Shawn "SayGoodNight" Daniels opened for 8,800 from early position and Darren "darrenelias" Elias three-bet jammed for 79,391 from the small blind. Daniels made the call and it was off to the races on the money bubble.

Darren "darrenelias" Elias: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Shawn "SayGoodNight" Daniels: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Elias was at risk and looking to improve, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out an unhelpful {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Elias left empty-handed in 249th place while the remaining players each locked up a minimum payday of $771.75.
