Jesse Kertland Bags Huge in Event #70: $400 Colossus
Nível 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Players who made it through Day 1a and Day 1b combined into one field for a total of 1,980 competitors looking to make it through to Day 3. After a total of 15 levels of play that field was whittled down to only 80. This was an incredible run for everyone who has advanced thus far, as the Colossus here at the 2023 World Series of Poker, hosted by Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, attracted a monumental 15,983 entrants.
Some of those who finished up in the lead included Jesse Kertland (26,150,000), who made a huge call towards the end of the night to catapult him up in the counts; Kertland already had five cashes in this year’s WSOP coming into this event. Colin Robinson (22,300,000) also broke the twenty million mark but he won’t be playing for a lifetime highscore, as he’s coming off a runner up in Event #39: $1,500 Monster Stack for $718,000. Toshimasa Sakato (15,925,000) doesn’t trail too far behind, with most of his recorded cashes being in the 2021 and 2022 WSOP Online Bracelet events hosted by GGPoker.

James Dempsey (8,275,000) and Ian Steinman (7,700,000) remain the only two previous bracelet winners in the field but they weren’t the only two to start the day. 2005’s Player of the Year, Allen Cunningham was eliminated deep in Day 2 and 2021’s Ladies Champion, Lara Eisenberg also fell throughout the day.
Popular poker personalities Benjamin Spragg and Kevin Martin also made it deep in the money but came short of a bag. Martin's night came to an abrupt end shortly after having his queens cracked.
Day 3 will begin at 10:00 a.m. local time on July 3rd in the Paris ballroom. All player’s returning are guaranteed a payout of $5,930, but the apex everyone will be looking up to is a whopping $501,120 to go along with the hardware. Not a bad prize for a $400 buy-in.

Kertland Wins a Big One
Nível 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jesse Kertland raised before the flop and was called by a player two seats to his left.
Heads up, they saw a flop of 8♥2♥3♣ and Kertland bet again, receiving a call.
When the 8♣ rolled off the turn, both players checked, bringing the 2♦ on the river.
When Kertland bet the river, he was faced with a massive shove but ultimately made the call and his opponent turned up 10♠10♥, but Kertland showed better with the Q♥Q♠.

Robinson Extends Chiplead as Amir is Eliminated
Nível 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Thomas Amir shoved for 2,300,000 and Colin Robinson made the call.
Thomas Amir: A♠J♦
Colin Robinson: K♠J♠
Amir had Robinson dominated but the Q♠9♠2♥ flop was a sweat as Robinson picked up a gutshot and a flush draw.
The 3♠ completed the flush, leaving Amir drawing dead and the 3♦ river was just a formality.

Chen's Sevens Eliminate Frenzel
Nível 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Mitchell Smith raised 750,000 in early position and Pete Chen called on the button before Brian Frenzel jammed for 3,375,000 in the small blind. Smith went deep into the tank before sigh folding and Chen asked for 20 seconds to make a decision. Eventually, Chen called and both hands were revealed.
Brian Frenzel: A♦10♠
Pete Chen: 7♥7♠
It was a race as the board ran out 8♥6♠3♠5♦Q♥, for Chen's sevens to hold. Smith let out a cry as the river hit, claiming to have folded ace-queen which would have won the hand.

A Turn of Fortune for Blauner
Nível 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Ethan Blauner got in a raising war preflop against the player two seats two his right and by the end of it, Blauner was at risk.
Ethan Blauner: A♥Q♦
Opponent: K♦Q♥
The flop was a dagger to Blauner, as it came 5♥K♣7♠.
The turn, however, pulled him ahead again as the A♦ peeled, making the 10♠ that fell on the river a brick as Blauner secured a huge double with only thirty minutes of play left in the day.
