Sam Grafton was eliminated in 31st place yesterday in Day 1E and has just been eliminated in exactly the same position after his King-Jack suited failed to outrun the tens of Leonardo Romeo, with the Jack-Ten suited of David Urban, who knocked him out on his first bullet, along for the ride.
He still has just under 45 minutes to enter Day 1H should he so wish.

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 
for the nut flush and took down the pot.
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.

Cheng-Wei Yin: 
The board ran out 
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.
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 
and all cards were turned over.
"I have the nuts," said Israelashvili showing a suspiciously non-quads looking 
. Bellal showed 
for a full house while Sens showed 
.
"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.
Gaetano Moreci was all in pre-flop with Erik Sens and Roland Israelashvili battling it out.
However the other two checked down the 
board and both Sens and Israelashvili turned over Jack-King. All that was left was for Moreci to show and take down the pot.
