The money went all-in pre-flop three-ways between Fabrice Halleux, Marek Holer and former November Niner Vojtech Ruzicka.

Fabrice Halleux: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Vojtech Ruzicka: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Marek Holer: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}]

It looked like Ruzicka would snatch an unlikely boost to his stack after the flop came {2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, but the river was the {k-Hearts} giving Halleux top pair and eliminating both Ruzicka and Holer.

"This table is too tough," said Martin Kabrhel, "I don't like to play post-flop it's so tough. I don't play GT-fucking-O."

Ismael Bojang raised to 1,300 and Kevin MacPhee three-bet all in for 7,300 from the big blind. Bojang called.

Ismael Bojang: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Kevin MacPhee: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The turn was the {k-Hearts} and the river the {j-Spades}.

"Great play sir," said Kabrhel.

"I think you would have played it better," replied MacPhee.

"You should have stood up on the turn," said Bojang.

Both Martin Kabrhel and Kristen Bicknell are now on their second bullets in Day 1A of THE COLOSSUS. Kabrhel is at a table alongside Salvatore Camarda, Ismael Bojang, Vojtech Ruzicka and Kevin MacPhee.

"I'm going to raise a little bit," said Kabrhel, raising to 7,000. "November Niner folds," he continued as Ruzicka let his cards go, "And bracelet-winner folds," as MacPhee folded.

"And now you're a bracelet-winner too," said 2015 WSOPE Main Event winner MacPhee.

"Of course!" said Kabrhel.

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Stefan Bachmann raised to 2,000 on the button and Terry Jordon, now on his second bullet, re-raised all in for starting stack from the big blind. Bachmann called.

Jordon: {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Bachmann: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Jordon was eliminated.

"Tell Mr Racener," Bachmann said to us as we were counting his chip stack, "I want to be second after him!"
