As Colossus III Day 1b approached the money bubble, the floor person announced that each dealer should stand at the end of the hand. This is the signal that hand-for-hand play is about to begin. However, the player that prompted that announcement ended up being the bubble and the next three players to bust all earned a min cash of $872.
One of those players, Michael Shanahan three-bet all in for his remaining 17,000 after an opening raise from Bas de Laat. de Laat called and flopped a pair against Shanahan. That would be good enough for de Laat to win the hand, and for Shanahan to be one of the first players to min cash this flight of Colossus III.

Two players just won huge pots within a few moments of each other to share the chip lead as the later stages of Day 1b approach.
"Yeah baby!" Mike Dentale exclaimed as he jumped out of his chair, "Yes! I just won the Colossus."
That cause some of the remaining field to chuckle a little. Dentale had just eliminated a player for a pot worth about 80,000 to jump up to 170,000. He says he had a royal flush draw against a pair of queens and made broadway.
At a nearby table, Jay Sarno was seated next to Sebastian Pauli. Both had large stacks. The two players played a pot together and we caught the final action on the river.
The board read 
and there was about 60,000 in the pot. Sarno was first to act and shoved all in for 61,000. Pauli took a moment before calling and showing 
. Sarno turned over two fours, 
, for a full house and won the pot worth close to 120,000.

He was heads up on a board of 
and his opponent led for 25,000 into a 70,000 pot. With only the slightest hesitation, Dentale went all in. His opponent had about 45,000 behind and, after a few moments folded.
Dentale flipped over the and raked in the pot.
His opponent told him he had ace-five.
"That's so sick," replied Dentale, "Once you called, I was gonna check it down."
Dentale quickly stacked his chips.
"Until you bet."
