Elias Nassif

Evan Dollinger had just over 500,000 chips left when he was dealt pocket aces and found a spot to get all in against Elias Nassif, who had him covered.

Dollinger: AsAc
Nassif: AdQh

The JdTs5h flop gave Nassif a gutshot, and the 8h turn added another four outs to the bottom end of the straight, too. Sure enough, the river was the Ks, and Nassif ran down his Broadway straight to scoop the big knockout pot. He’s now challenging at the top of the leaderboard.

Dollinger could only shake his head as he walked quietly to the payout desk in 33rd place.

Elias Nassif – 1,480,000 (62 bb)
Evan Dollinger – Eliminated
