Elias into the Final Four
Darren Elias (Erie, PA) defeats Will "The Thrill" Failla (Smithtown, NY) in the quarterfinals to punch his ticket into the Final Four. Elias was runner-up in this tournament in the 2011 Borgata Fall Poker Open when he lost to Alex Queen (Bethelehem, PA).
With three wins today, Elias has now won 8 of his last 9 heads up matches at Borgata.
"Darren got smashed by the deck and beat Will 'The Thrill,'" says Failla, who lost two games to none in the best of three series.
This is Failla's second cash of the series after winning Event 1 for $165,000. He takes home $3,128 for his 5th-8th place finish.
Defending champion Alex Queen lost in the second round and won't repeat as champion.
Elias plays the winner of the Josh Brikis/Scott Lazewski quarterfinal match scheduled for noon Wednesday.
