Actually atm Daniel Colman is really tough to beat at tournaments. Even though I don`t like the guy, if must choose a favourite to win, it would be him. He has runned good since the One Drop victory but also played really well against the best.

Ben Lamb has only two cashes since 2011 WSOP so interesting to see if he makes it to FT. He`s mainly CG player though.

after 27 hands of hu play we saw a winner when both players got it allin preflop Seiver holding 5♦: 5♠: and Rast A♠: 9♠:

Seiver ahead but that changed when the flop was dealt 9♦: 2♣: Q♥: and with no help for Seiver with K♦: and 6♦: at turn flop we saw a winner in Brian Rast , congrats to him and congrats to Scott seiver for another nice score in a Highroller tournament :f_thumbsup:
