Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Cord Garcia is now sitting only a couple tables away from Colossus II Champion Ben Keeline. Garcia won the inaugural Colossus tournament at the 2015 WSOP and, despite success elsewhere, has not won a WSOP gold bracelet since. His Colossus win also brought a first-place prize of $638,880, so he may have extra motivation to land the $1,000,000 guaranteed to this year's champion.

He is seated with Mike Sexton, who just lost most of his stack after folding to a river bet.

Brandon Sowers opened to 450 and three players called, including Sexton and Garcia.

The flop was {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Sowers bet 675. Sexton raised to 2,000 and Sowers called. The turn was the {a-Clubs} and both players checked.

The river was the {9-Spades} and Sowers led for 1,400. Sexton took some time to fold, counting out his remaining stack a few times before letting his hand go. He is now sitting with just above 2,000.
