Colao on a Heater of His Own

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Just before the break, Hoss Colao won a monster pot that saw him vault up to 240,000.

We should note that two hands before the one we're about to describe, Colao claims to have won a big pot when his aces defeated jacks. Anyways, in the big hand Colao and two other players got their chips all in preflop.

Colao: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Opponent #1: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Opponent #2: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Colao was out in front and remained silent as both his opponents called for cards. The {4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop was as safe as could be for Colao, and so was the {J-Spades} turn. All he needed to do was dodge an ace and king on the river, and he did just that when the {8-Diamonds} blanked.

Colao was shipped the massive pot while the other two players were sent on permanent break from Event #12.
