Grafton With the Gin Flop; Boatman Keeps on Pushing

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton moved all in for 24,000 and Leonardo Romeo called.

Sam Grafton: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Leonardo Romeo: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} giving Grafton a straight. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {8-Hearts} handing Grafton the double up.

Meanwhile on a {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs} board, Barny Boatman had bet 20,000 into a pot of around 50,000. His opponent thought for a while before calling. Boatman turned over {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the nut flush and took down the pot.

Bustouts Begin in Earnest; Boatman Chips Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

There have been a flurry of eliminations from THE COLOSSUS including third-place finisher in Event #2: €550 Pot-Limit Omaha Georgios Zisimopoulos as well as Stanislav Koleno, who suffered that brutal bad beat on the direct money bubble.

There was an all-in and a call at Barny Boatman's table, and he was up against Belgian Cheng-Wei Yin.

Barny Boatman: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Cheng-Wei Yin: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and despite the dealer waggling Yin's Ace of diamonds on the turn, the river was a blank and Boatman's Ace-high was good enough to take down the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Sens Elimination Bursts COLOSSUS Day 1G Bubble

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
The Colossus 1G Bubble Bursting
The Colossus 1G Bubble Bursting

Erik Sens moved all in from the button and Roland Israelashvili called in the small blind, as well as Amine Bellal in the big blind.

The pair checked down a board of {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and all cards were turned over.

"I have the nuts," said Israelashvili showing a suspiciously non-quads looking {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Bellal showed {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a full house while Sens showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

"Not bad on the button," said Bellal, but it wasn't good enough to stop him from being eliminated, bursting the bubble on Day 1G of the COLOSSUS.

Another Double This Time For Gaetano Moreci

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Gaetano Moreci was all in pre-flop with Erik Sens and Roland Israelashvili battling it out.

However the other two checked down the {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board and both Sens and Israelashvili turned over Jack-King. All that was left was for Moreci to show {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and take down the pot.

Israelashvili Wins Huge Pot on Bubble

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Roland Isralaeshvili
Roland Isralaeshvili

Roland Israelashvili raised to 7,000 from the cutoff and Stanislav Koleno three-bet to 19,000 out of the small blind. Israelashvili called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Koleno bet 16,000. Israelashvili called. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Koleno continued for 25,500 and Israelashvili stood up, asking to see how much Koleno had behind. He then called.

The river was the {10-Spades} Koleno bet 35,000 and Israelashvili snap moved all in.

"Count," asked Koleno.

"I have you covered," said Israelashivli.

"I was bluffing pre-flop," said Koleno, "You don't look like you are bluffing that's the problem. I'm beaten by two hands; Ace-Queen and Ace-Ten."

Eventually Koleno called. With one all-in at the other table this hand was shown down first. Koleno showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a flush but Israelashvili showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nut flush. Koleno wasn't in fact covered and was still alive in the tournament.

Meanwhile at a neighbouring table the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} of shortstack Jiri Noga held against the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} of Leonardo Romeo on a {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board. Hand-for-hand play continues.
