Webb Makes Quads Against Lamanna
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action was picked up in a pot of close to 80,000 on a board showing K♦Q♣J♣K♥. Brian Lamanna checked from the small blind to Michael Webb in middle position who checked back.
The Q♠ hit the river and Lamanna cut out a bet of 30,000. Webb announced all in and slid forward his stack of roughly 160,000. Lamanna quickly folded and the pot was shipped to Webb without showdown.
Webb stood up to get his camera out and flipped over K♠K♣ for quads while he collected the pot.
"That's it?" joked Lamanna as Webb took a picture of his hand and the board.

Aggression Pays Off for Daly
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to a player in middle position who opened to 25,000. Next to act was Jason Daly who put in a three-bet to 85,000. The middle position player called.
The 7♠K♠7♥ landed and the middle position player check-called a 60,000 bet from Daly. The turn brought a 4♦ and action checked to Daly who went into the tank for only a moment before putting out a bet of 135,000.
This sizing did the job as the middle position player returned his cards to the dealer and Daly used some well-timed aggression to drag the pot without showdown.

After the dust settled from the two starting flights, just 1,980 hopefuls will be returning for Day 2 of Event #70: $400 The Colossus at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. In total 15,893 entrants took their shot at one of the most popular events of the year which was almost 2,000 more entrants than 2022. Official numbers, including payouts, are expected to be released early on Day 2.
Your current chip leader going into Day 2 will be Scott Keaton who bagged the big stack on Day 1b and will come into battle with a stack of 1,358,000 . Others at the top of the leaderboard include, Darrick Arreola (1,313,000), Neng Lee (1,290,000), Chengtzu Lai (1,456,000), and Alessandro Minasi (1,415,000).
Among the field is still plenty of notable names. Erik Cajelais made a deep run in the Event #64: $600 Deepstack Championship No-Limit Hold'em finishing 19th and followed it right up with a bag in the Colossus. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Dan Heimiller bagged a healthy stack of 979,000. Heimiller has had an impressive summer thus far, cashing in six events for a total of $375,108. Lara Eisenberg, who took down the 2021 Ladies event, will be in the mix and battling for her potential second bracelet.
Players who found a bag on Day 1 will return on Day 2 at 10 a.m. local time and play 15 more levels with a 60-minute dinner break after Level 26 (≈ 4:30 p.m.). Levels will again be 40 minutes, with a 15-minute break every three levels. Action will start in Level 18, with blinds of 6,000/12,000 with a 12,000 big blind ante.
