The Super High Roller Champ is Eliminated
Yesterday, Daniel Colman, a 23-year-old from the United States who plays online under the name “mrGR33N13,” topped a field of 62 entries (50 unique, 12 reentries) to win the €1,539,300 first-place prize in the 2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final €100,000 Super High Roller. Today, Colman was looking to make a run at the Main Event title, but those hopes were just crushed.
Colman was clinging to a short stack of around 8,000 when he decided to commit it from middle position. France's Apostolos Chantzis looked him up from the cutoff, and after the rest of the players folded, Colman discovered the bad news.
Chantzis: 
Colman: 
Colman had a kicker issue, but it was solved when the 
flop paired his nine. However, Chantzis did flop a flush draw. The dealer burned and turned the 
. It wasn't a diamond, but it was just as good as it gave Chantzis back the lead with kings.
Colman needed a nine on the river to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the 
blanked on the river.
