Event #6: $5,000 Super COLOSSUS
Day 2 Completed
A marathon heads-up battle saw Lithuania's Rokas Asipauskas emerging victorious over Alex Keating in Event #6: $5,000 Super COLOSSUS at World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise to win $504,950 and his first bracelet.
In doing so, he denied the well-known American pro (who has no relation to popular high-stakes cash game player Alan Keating) his second bracelet. Keating's first bracelet came from a victory in the $5,000 penultimate event at the 2023 WSOP in Las Vegas.
Also look for a second bracelet was poker coach Jonathan Little (5th - $116,700), while fellow longtime American pro Chino Rheem was once again denied a maiden bracelet as he finished fourth for $162,500.
The final table also included Canada's Francois Billard (3rd - $230,600), Britain's Kevin Appleyard (6th - $85,400), India's Krishna Madhariwar (7th - $63,700) and Austria's Armin Rezaei (8th - $48,400).
