A player in middle position opened to 80,000 and Eli Cohen three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. The middle position player called.
On the A♥10♠3♥ flop, Cohen continued for 120,000, and the middle position player called.
Both checked the 2♣ turn to see the 9♣ fall on the river. Cohen eyed up his opponent's stack and upon seeing it was around 500,000 chips, he fired a bet of 420,000. It took just a few seconds for the middle position to fold.
On the same table, Greg Raymer has around 1,400,000 chips and mentioned he wished PokerNews covered Day 1 of the Colossus as he claimed to have made the best fold of his long poker career.

David Rivera had committed his stack to the pot from the cutoff and was attempting to eliminate the small blind, who had around 600,000 in his stack.
Small Blind: A♠A♦
David Rivera: A♥K♣
Rivera needed a lot of help from the board and did pick up some outs after the dealer put out a flop of 5♣J♦10♣. One of those outs landed on the turn as the Q♠ completed Rivera's Broadway draw. A Q♥ on the river avoided the chop, and Rivera added valuable chips to his stack.
