As Colossus III Day 1b approached the money bubble, the floor person announced that each dealer should stand at the end of the hand. This is the signal that hand-for-hand play is about to begin. However, the player that prompted that announcement ended up being the bubble and the next three players to bust all earned a min cash of $872.
One of those players, Michael Shanahan three-bet all in for his remaining 17,000 after an opening raise from Bas de Laat. de Laat called and flopped a pair against Shanahan. That would be good enough for de Laat to win the hand, and for Shanahan to be one of the first players to min cash this flight of Colossus III.
