Dec 8, 2017

Darren Elias

The action folds to Matt Giannetti on the button and he raises to 13,500. Darren Elias (pictured) calls in the small blind, and the flop falls Heart 10Diamond 8Spade K.

Elias checks, and Giannetti bets 15,000 with Elias calling as the Club 2 falls on the turn.

Elias checks again, and Giannetti bets 35,000 with Elias making the call as the Club 5 completes the board on the river.

Elias checks and Giannetti cuts out a bet of 60,000.

Taking his full measure of time, Elias eventually tosses in a time extension button, and before his next 30 seconds expire, Elias announces he is all in for 202,000 total.

With the action back on Giannetti, he receives a count of Elias’ stack before opting to use on of his own time extension buttons. As his second set of 30 seconds is about to expire, Giannetti tosses in a few chips to signify a call.

Elias tables his Diamond 10Spade 10 for a flopped set, and the second nuts.

Giannetti concedes and tosses his hand to the muck, but Sergio Aido requests to see it, and the dealer tables it to show Club KClub Q for top pair.

Darren Elias – 533,000
Matt Giannetti – 360,000
