Elias Balboa: The Poker Underdog's Rise

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Damian Elias
Damian Elias

Damian Elias, an aspiring poker player with a relentless spirit, recently won a satellite tournament, securing his entry into the prestigious Main Event. As the night nears its end, he has already built a massive stack, an achievement that reflects his strategic prowess and determination.

Although he counts renowned players like Nacho Barbero and 2020 Main Event Champion Damian Salas among his friends, Elias humbly admits that he doesn't consider himself on their level. Instead, he likens himself to Rocky from the classic movie, an underdog with a fighting spirit, determined to prove himself in the high-stakes world of poker.

With his newfound opportunity, Elias is ready to channel his inner Rocky as he looks to head into Day 3 with a healthy stack.

Kribben Gets Paid by Ketzer After Lengthy Tank

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot on a board of 1035A, Stephan Kribben bet 30,000 from the hijack and Felipe Ketzer called in early position.

The river was the 2 and Kribben bet another 40,000, sending Ketzer deep into the tank. Nearly five minutes came off the clock as Ketzer continued to ponder the decision.

"Take 32 minutes," a tablemate said, willing to let Ketzer run out the clock on the day. Ketzer eventually called and Kribben showed 55 for a set to win the pot.
