Darren Elias

In a battle of the blinds, Darren Elias bet1,200 into a pot of 3,600 on a QdQh6s flop. Paul Snead called.

The turn brought the 4d, Elias checked and Snead bet 5,000. Elias called.

The river was the 6d, Elias checked again and Snead put out a bet of 15,000. Elias thought about it before putting in the calling chips.

Snead tabled 5s3s and was defeated by Elias’s KdKh.

“It was close, one off” Snead said. “You woulda got me” Elias responded.

Darren Elias – 59,000
Paul Snead – 21,000
