Darius Samual Is Out of the Door

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

The cards are all but rushed away and Darius Samual vanishes as quickly out of the tournament area. His A 7 cannot solve the kicker problem against the A 9 of Sechariah Sheng Quek and that spells the end for him towards the end of level 15.
