Darren Elias Over Six Million

During the break, WPT Champions Club member Darren Elias (pictured) was seen with a stack just above 5.5 million and confirmed that he had played a massive pot during the previous level in which he doubled through Allan Rabinovich, who started the day with over 3 million.

According to Elias, he opened to 60,000 in middle position and was three-bet to 105,000 by Rabinovich on the button. Elias called and the flop came with two hearts and a diamond.

Elias checked and Rabinovich continuation-bet 300,000. Elias check-raised to 800,000 and Rabinovich called to bring the turn on board. Elias bet another 500,000, saw Rabinovich raise him all in, and made the call.

Elias had flopped the nuts and found a clean river to fade the chop and score a big double.

Shortly after the break, Elias eliminated Joel Deutsch to add another 600,000 to his stack and bring him above 6 million, the largest stack in the room at the present moment.
