Jeff Gross Eliminated by Stephen Nussrallah

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Jeff Gross moved all in for his last 4,025, and Stephen Nussrallah moved all in for 5,100 from the cutoff. The player in the small blind called.

Gross tabled {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, Nussrallah showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, and the small blind revealed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. Gross and Nussrallah were both at risk, as the small blind had them both covered by a decent amount.

The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and Gross paired his ten, giving him some outs to stay alive. The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and the river was the {9-Diamonds}, sending Gross to the rail and giving Nussrallah a triple-up, including the blinds and antes.

Safiya Umerova Hunts for Bracelet Number Two

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

It was her first trip to the Series, after frequenting the poker circuit for a while. She looks to win another and make this the summer of second bracelets after Upeshka De Silva and Benjamin Zamani have already locked up their second-career bracelets.

Umerova enters the field with several more notable female players, including Jessica Dawley, Julie Cornelius, Lizzy Harrison, and Kelly Winterhalter, just to name a few.

William Kassouf

More and more familiar faces have found their way into this last flight of the Colossus III, including the chatty William Kassouf.

Upon passing by his table, he was joking with the players and asked to buy the button. After being reminded that he can't buy the button in a tournament, another player joked with him and said, "They made a rule about stalling because of you, and here you are, still stalling", he laughed.

Here are some more familiar faces in the field:
