Elias Bounces Off the Ropes
Three hands may have shaped the tournament for Darren Elias, who first bet 5,000 into the pot of 15,000 on a [9hJcKh] flop. Cary Katz called with [Kc3c] and on the [2h] turn, Katz tossed in a bet of 13,000, and Katz took it down as Elias slid his cards into the muck. Darren Elias is down to less than 100,000, which meant less than twenty big blinds.
Elias then had [AhQc] and moved all-in over Christoph Vogelsang’s opening bet of 10,000. Back up to 24 big blinds after a quick German fold.
Elias had [9h8h] on the button and made the call to Imsirovic’s bet to 11,000 with [KhKs]. The flop of [6cQhTc] saw Imsirovic check, and Elias bet just 12,000. Imsirovic made it 38,000. Elias, 96,000 behind him, made the call.
A sensational [7d] on the turn gave Elias the straight! Imsirovic moved all-in and Elias snap-called to double up in amazing style to 250,500 – 500 chips more than he started the day with.
No reaction from Elias externally, but inside, he must surely be ecstatic. He’s found a way back into this Super High Roller Bowl.
