Colossus III: Original Colossus Champ Joins and Mike Sexton Folds the River
Cord Garcia is now sitting only a couple tables away from Colossus II Champion Ben Keeline. Garcia won the inaugural Colossus tournament at the 2015 WSOP and, despite success elsewhere, has not won a WSOP gold bracelet since. His Colossus win also brought a first-place prize of $638,880, so he may have extra motivation to land the $1,000,000 guaranteed to this year's champion.
He is seated with Mike Sexton, who just lost most of his stack after folding to a river bet.
Brandon Sowers opened to 450 and three players called, including Sexton and Garcia.

and Sowers led for 1,400. Sexton took some time to fold, counting out his remaining stack a few times before letting his hand go. He is now sitting with just above 2,000.
