Elias Takes Two Pots

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Darren Elias
Darren Elias

Darren Elias was in position in a heads-up pot on a board of {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

The opponent checked on the turn and Elias bet 6,500. The opponent called. The opponent checked again on the {q-Hearts} turn and Elias bet 14,000. The opponent called, only to muck when Elias showed {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a straight.

"Luck box!" joked table mate Renata Colache.

The next hand, Elias opened to 1,800 and was called by Ren Lin in the big blind.

Lin checked on the flop of {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Spades} and Elias bet 1,500. Lin called. Lin checked again on the {4-Clubs} turn and Elias checked back. Lin checked a third time on the {6-Clubs} river and Elias bet 5,500.

"I don't believe you. Happy New Year," Lin said as he tossed in a call.

Elias tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} for a pair of kings and it was good to win the pot.

"King-king?? Ugh... You're not scared (of the board)?" asked Lin.
