Darren Elias: 
Joao Vieira: 
Elias was a sure favorite to take down this pot and become the new chip leader. A 
flop hit Vieira with a pair of ladies but Elias was still well in front with his aces.
An 
turn left Vieira with one last chance for romance, needing an unlikely lady to send Elias to the rail. The 
peeled off on the river, hitting Vieira in the face with the deck to send Elias out the door in sixth on what was the sickest beat of the day.
