Elias Picks Up Momentum
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Adrian Buckley opened to 8,000 before Darren Elias defended his big blind from middle position.
Elias check-raised to 16,000 after Buckley made a continuation bet on the K♦K♥3♣ flop. Buckley called.
Elias fired another 18,000 into the middle on the 4♣ turn and Buckley folded after some brief thinking.
The next hand, Anthony Bellino jammed for 33,000 from the cutoff and Elias called from the small blind.
Anthony Bellino: J♠3♠
Darren Elias: A♣5♠
Bellino's jam was mistimed and he was still behind following the Q♠Q♣2♦ flop. Elias locked up the hand on the A♥ turn and the 8♥ completed the board.
