Elias Out on Rollercoaster Runout

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Darren Elias, raised to 40,000 from middle position. David Coleman raised to 110,000 chips from the cutoff.

When the action returned to him, Elias paused for a bit, then raised all in for some 400,000.

Coleman folded.

A few hands later, Elias was in the big blind and found himself facing a 680,000-chip raise from Jesse Lonis on the button.

Elias made the call, with less.

Darren Elias: AKAll in
Jesse Lonis: 88

Elias hit a king on the flop, but Lonis flopped a set of eights.

Elias jumped into the lead when he turned an ace-high flush.

But Lonis boated up when the board paired on the river in a cruel runout 8KQ22 that to send him to the rail.
