Julius Colman Eliminated in 10th Place ($22,500)

It was an incredibly unlucky end for Julius Colman. After Chong Wing Cheong opened the pot for 20,000, Colman reraised to 53,000 from the small blind. Cheong tanked for thirty seconds, then called.

A power flop of {J-Spades}

brought whispers from the assembled gallery. Everyone sensed that both of these players must have caught a good piece of the board. Action started with Colman, who mulled his options before betting 80,000. Cheong then peeked at his cards once before raising all in to 167,000. Colman called.

Colman: {J-Clubs}

Cheong:

Incredible bad luck for Colman - he flopped bottom set, only to run into Cheong's flopped straight. Colman needed a board pair and didn't get it. The turn and the river were {5-Hearts}

.

When the stacks were counted down, Colman was left with just 3,000. He was all in for the small blind on the next hand. Two other players limped into the pot and one of them made top pair after the action was checked down through all streets. Colman couldn't beat that hand. He is out.

Cheong is now near the top of the leader board with about 450,000.
