Darren Elias Eliminated in 7th Place ($32,000)

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Darren Elias
Darren Elias

Action was picked up on the river, with the board showing 4♥K♣4♦6♦8♥ and roughly 250,000 in the pot.

After the river, Darren Elias checked to Clemen Deng, who bet to put Elias all in for his stack of roughly 400,000. Elias sat in the tank, using multiple time extensions, and flipping in a chip to call. Elias turned over A♠7♥ for just ace high, but Deng had A♣K♠ to take the pot with his pair of kings and knock out Elias.
