Ruttler's Turn to Double

Level 43 : 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Sam Laskowitz raised to 8,000,000 from early position as action folded around to Anthony Ruttler on the button. He moved all in for 22,000,000 and Laskowitz called.

Anthony Ruttler: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Sam Laskowitz: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Laskowitz picked up a flush draw as the board came {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades} by the turn, but he missed the {3-Diamonds} on the river as Ruttler doubled up.

Scott Scores an Early Double Up

Level 43 : 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

The action folded to James Scott, the short stack at the table, who shoved all in for 13,500,000 in the cutoff. Jeff Loiacono called on the button and the blinds quickly folded.

James Scott: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Jeff Loiacono: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} gave Scott the lead with a pair of aces. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn and the {j-Clubs} on the river changed nothing as Scott scored an early double up.

Sam Laskowitz Leads Final Seven Seeking to Join List of Colossus Champions; Play Begins at 4 p.m.

2022 WSOP Gold Bracelet

They��ve been tournament grinders such as Cord Garcia and Ben Keeline, and Macau cash game regulars like South Korea's Sejin Park. Thomas Pomponio and Roberly Felicio did it as amateurs. There��s even been a past bracelet winner in last year��s champion Anatolii Zyrin.

By the end of today, one of seven players who have grinded their way past a massive field of 13,565 entries in Event #51: $400 Colossus No-Limit Hold��em will join this list and be able to call himself the Colossus champion.

Sam Laskowitz, Paul Hizer, Jordan Pelon, Jeff Loiacono, Luong Quach, Anthony Ruttler, and James Scott are the seven names who will return to play at 4 p.m. local time today to determine a champion. Action will be streamed on PokerGo with a one-hour delay.

Lasowitz, the New York native with no reported live cashes, amassed a huge chip lead at the end of Day 3 and carries 206,500,000 into the final seven. Paul Hizer of Britain is in second place with 132,000,000. Combined, they have 62 percent of the chips in play.

The Frenchman Pelon, who was the chip leader for much of Day 3 (and even Day 2) before falling back in a clash against Laskowitz, is coming back with 68,000,000. Loiacono, with 12 WSOP cashes dating back to 2013 but no final tables before this event, has 56,000,000, while Quach (38,500,000), Ruttler (32,000,000), and Scott (13,500,000) each have fewer than 10 big blinds.
