Last Year's Super High Roller Champ Bounced Early

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We missed the elimination of Daniel Colman, which took place a short time before the break. However, Pratyush Buddiga was kind enough to fill us in on some details.

According to him, it happened when Argentina's Ivan Luca opened for 350 from early position and action folded to Colman, who three-bet to 1,300 from the big blind. Luca proceeded to four-bet to 3,500, Colman called, and the flop came down {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-}. Colman checked, Luca bet 1,450, and Colman check-raised to 7,800. Luca called and then bet 6,500 after Colman checked the {a-} turn.

Colman paused for a few moments before making the call, and then checked the {6-} river. Luca announced that he was all in for roughly 10,000, and Colman, who had a little less than that, hit the tank. He chatted up Luca for a bit — asking such questions like where he was from — and eventually called off with {k-}{k-}. It was no good though as Luca had turned a set with {a-}{a-}.

Meanwhile, Maximos Pertsinidis was also eliminated from the tournament in Level 2.
