After 18 levels of play, the third of eight starting days of Event #1: €550 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em during the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe here in the King’s Casino is in the book. Day 1C attracted 125 entries for it’s first afternoon flight of the series and 12 of them managed to find a bag for Day 2. In total over the first three starting flights, the COLOSSUS has attracted 446 entries for the €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Daniel Prior takes the honor of being the Day 1C chip leader bagging 649,000 in chips, pipping Daniel Rezaei to the top spot. Rezaei tagged 623,000 at the end of a day where both of them were both aggressively fighting to be on top. Josef Snejberg closes the podium with 527,000 in chips. Other notable players making it to Day 2 include Gaetan Cariou (212,000), Yunsheng Sun (173,000), and Alexander Bachmann (152,000).

Alexander Shelukhin ended up being the bubble boy when he ran his ace-four into the ace-queen of Rezaei. Out of the 125 players, 19 of them would make the money, and seven of them busted before the end of the day, including Roland Israelashvili and Jan Bednar who collected €809 for their efforts today before jumping into Day 1d.

Action of the day

The day was off to a slow start as the noon start might have been a shock to some of the players’ system as the previous two starting flights all started at 6 PM. Israelashvili was responsible for one of the first eliminations of the day when he called Thomas Wolf’s shove on the seven-ten-king flop with queen-ten. Wolf held ace-king but Israelashvili managed to hit a straight on the river to send Wolf back to the cashier.

Other players that failed early on in the day include Ronny Voth, Oliver Heidel, Kevin Paschmann, Timo Kamphues, Renato Kaneoya, Rifat Gegic, Anatolii Zyrin, Anson Tsang, Hannes Neurauter, Sander van Wesemael, Chris Ferguson, Philippe Bouhkin, Andrey Andreev, and Jakob Miegel. Bouhkin actually made a huge call to eliminate Sun on his first bullet when he called Sun’s shove on the jack-queen-four-trey-ten board with king-high. Sun had bluffed with seven-high, unfortunately, Bouhkin himself couldn’t make it into the money stages.
