After playing 243 hands today, Roberly Felicio finally managed to clinch the win in the end by defeating Sang Liu heads-up in Event #7: $565 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold’em. Not only did he win the fifth coveted gold WSOP bracelet for Brazil, he also took home $1,000,000 for his efforts over the past days.

Just after he had his winner photo taken, Felicio said: 'I’m very happy, it was a tough final table with tough opponents. Heads-up was very emotional. But I’m very excited to take home my first bracelet, I still can’t believe it.'

Final Table Action

First to the rail in ninth place was Steven Jones, who started the final table as the short stack. He ran his ace-deuce into the jack-seven of Song Choe in the fifth hand of the day. Choe flopped two pair to take Jones out of the running.

Fifteen hands later, it was John Racener’s turn to say goodbye when he ran his ace-jack into the pocket sevens of Choe. The hand right after that, Gunther Dumsky had to leave the stage when he shoved all in on the turn with pocket eights on a six-four-three-king board. Again, it was Choe to take care of business as he called with king-jack for top pair to eliminate Dumsky.

However, Choe was about to lose most of those chips when he doubled up Scott Margereson. Choe had flopped a set of jacks, but Margereson rivered a straight to scoop a big pot. Choe left the stage in sixth place when he found ace-seven and called when Timothy Miles put him all-in with pocket eights. The board didn’t help in any way and Choe got to take home $126,158 for his efforts.

With five players left, Margereson made a monster laydown against Miles as the stream would later reveal. Holding pocket sixes on a six-queen-king-ace board, it was Miles who check-raised all in after Margereson had bet. Amazingly enough, 'Aggro Santos' found a fold with bottom set, and it turned out to be the correct decision as Miles played pocket kings for a higher set.

After playing five-handed for almost three hours, next to go was Miles who ran his pocket jacks into the ace-king of Liu. An ace fell on the flop to knock out Miles in fifth. Another long spell without a bustout followed as four-handed play lasted nearly four hours. In hand #192, the curtain finally closed on Margereson, who ran his last nine big blinds with ace-six into the pocket nines of Felicio.

Twenty minutes later, Liu got rid of Joel Wurtzel when the latter shoved ace-four into the king-ten of Liu. Liu managed to hit a flush on the turn to leave Wurtzel drawing dead. With Wurtzel's elimination in 3rd place, heads-up play between Felicio and Liu would commence.

In the 25th hand of heads-up play, Liu had limped and then snap-called the shove of Felicio with pocket jacks. Felicio held pocket tens but the jacks on the flop gave Liu quads and left Felicio drawing dead, while Liu was dancing around the table. However, the celebration was about to be cut short as the players got their stacks in the middle again in the next hand. Felicio moved all in on a jack-seven-three flop. Liu snap-called again with jack-ten. Felicio was behind, holding jack-eight. However, the Brazilian spiked a crucial eight on the river to give him the double-up he needed to stay in the tournament.

Liu grinded his way back up and found a double-up once more before the final hand of the night was dealt. After a limp by Felicio, Liu shoved and Felicio snap-called. The Brazilian held ace-jack and Liu was behind holding ace-six of spades. The flop gave Liu both flush and straight draws but the turn and river bricked out. The Brazilian rail erupted in cheers and their phones were all out to record this amazing win for their fellow countryman.

Andre Akkari, Felipe Ramos, and Bruno Politano were some of the Brazilians on his rail.

“It was a wonderful experience,' Felicio said about his high-profile rail. 'I studied a lot and had a great coach in Felipe Ramos. I remember sitting down with Andre Akkari for the first time, I was shaking. And now I have a bracelet, just like him, and I still haven’t comprehended it.”

Payouts

As soon as he was done with the interviews, the whole rail gave him a big hug and Felicio seemed overwhelmed and over the moon with all the attention.

This concludes the live reporting for the COLOSSUS for 2018. The PokerNews live reporting team will be here for the whole World Series of Poker so stay tuned for all the updates from the floor!

Although it has been going on since October 9, it could be honestly said that the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe got off to its FULL start on Sunday. Action was fervid in the King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, as the COLOSSUS worked its way down to the final table and Event #2, the €1500 Pot Limit Omaha tournament, kicked off its Day 1 action.

Event #1 – €500 No Limit Hold’em COLOSSUS – Day 2

For the first time, the eight flights of the European COLOSSUS came together for play on Sunday. Officially known as Day 2, the 296 survivors from the 2992 entries cracked open their bags with every player assured of a €1285 payday. The real goal of all the survivors, however, was on Monday’s final table and the championship of the COLOSSUS, which would give out the first bracelet of the 2018 WSOP Europe and a first-place prize of €203,820.

To be honest, you would have to have a near encyclopedic knowledge of the European poker scene to be able to pick the players out of the crowd, but there were a few familiar names among the runners. Allen Kessler, Jan Bendik and defending WSOP Player of the Year Chris Ferguson were a few of the familiar names on the roster, but they were all long gone by the time the final table was determined. Once Klaus Schiefer was eliminated in eleventh place by Wojciech Wyrebski, Schiefer’s Q♠ 9♠ failing to find any magic against Wyrebski’s A-Q off suit, Wyrebski seized the chip lead heading to Monday’s final table.

1. Wojciech Wyrebski (Poland), 11.875 million
2. Hannes Neurauter (Germany), 11.825 million
3. Darius Glinski (Poland), 9.35 million
4. Krasimir Yankov (Bulgaria), 8.625 million
5. Tamir Segal (Israel), 8.5 million
6. Bjorn Bouwmans (Netherlands), 5.85 million
7. Nelio Gatta (Italy), 5.0 million
8. Francesco Delfoco (Italy), 4.85 million
9. Aksei Ayguen (Belgium), 4.725 million
10. Flavio Decataldo (Italy), 4.625 million

Event #2 – €1500 Six Handed Pot Limit Omaha – Day 1

There were a few more familiar faces on the floor for the opening day of the Six Handed Pot Limit Omaha event. With a €200,000 guarantee on the tournament, slightly more than 133 entries had to be received for that guarantee to be met. The resulting 221 entries more than crushed that number, building a prize pool of €318,074. 34 players will take home a piece of that pie, with the eventual champion picking up a shiny WSOP bracelet and a €82,280 payday.

The nature of Pot Limit Omaha – even if it is a full table and not the six-handed variety played in this event – is for the chips to be in action. That was nowhere more evident than on one particular table that had only two players (two players had to be seated for them to be dealt). With a J-10-8-4 flop and turn, James Bullimore moved his stack all in against Andreas Hildebrand, who called the bet. Bullimore was pushing with his A-Q against Hildebrand’s pocket Queens and, once the river blanked, he was out of the tournament after only 15 minutes of play – technically. That’s because there was a single reentry available for players, which Bullimore exercised and went back to work – just not at Hildebrand’s table (for the record, Bullimore was able to make it through Day 1 with a stack just off the Top Ten; Hildebrand was not so fortunate).

Such gamble was seen all around the King’s Casino as the players looked to build their 30K stacks into a veritable fortress for moving on to Day 2. By the time the carnage was done for the day, such notable names as Anthony Zinno, Dutch Boyd, Jeff Madsen and Bertrand Grospellier were on the rail. But there were some that survived and will be looking to increase their stacks on Monday, including Cord Garcia (44K), Roland Israelashvili (68K) and 2018 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure champion Maria Lampropulos (115K). They will be a part of the 29 players who are looking up at the Top Ten:

1. Milad Oghabian (Netherlands), 457,500
2. Shaun Deeb (USA), 373,000
3. Van Tiep Nguyen (Czech Republic), 364,500
4. Chin Wei Lim (Malaysia), 324,000
5. Giuliano Bendinelli (Italy), 311,000
6. Gianluca Speranza (Italy), 259,000
7. Michael Soyza (Malaysia), 240,500
8. Darko Stojanovic (France), 228,500
9. Hao Tian (China), 226,000
10. Antti Marttinen (Finland), 223,000

You may have noted Deeb’s name in the Day 2 roster and this is significant. If the four-time WSOP bracelet winner is able to cash in this tournament – and especially if he goes deep, as his current second place status implies – he can put a virtual lock on the 2018 WSOP Player of the Year award. With only eight more tournaments following this event, it is unlikely that any player would be able to emerge from the pack to catch Deeb and deny him the title.
