The New Jersey-based poker pro came into the final table with the biggest stack after a double knockout busted both Ryan Riess and J.C. Tran to end day 2, and he continued to run hot, taking out Nick Schulman and David Benyamine. Then, during three-handed play, Matt Waxman’s pocket jacks cracked Elias’ pocket queens to cut his stack in half.

A few orbits later, Elias was eliminated by Matas Cimbolas to set up a heads-up battle with Waxman. Cimbolas, who won the WPT UK main event back in 2014, lasted 38 hands before his bluff was picked off by Waxman’s second pair to end his tournament run in second place.
