After winning a WSOP gold bracelet and $1,000,000 Keeline won that same $250 bet- today.<\/p>\n
He won the massive $565 buy-in tournament after outlasting all 21,613 entries. Remember that Keeline normally is a part-time driver for Uber in Boulder, CO.<\/p>\n
After running kings into aces Keeling had a major setback at Day 1 when he was down to just one 500 chip.<\/p>\n
After winning Keeline said:<\/p>\n
‘I’m elated’. I can’t even think about what this means, not just the money, but the gold bracelet. This is something I could not have imagined could happen just a few days ago.’<\/p>\n
‘Sure, I thought it could happen and I thought I could win if I played well, but to have it go the way it went, well- that’s more than I can express how I feel right now.’<\/p>\n
‘It’s going to take some time for this to all sink in’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Just a reminder: An extra $6,750 was handed out as the last longer bet counted 27 players.<\/p>\n
2nd place for Jiri Horak from Chech Republic<\/h3>\n
He heads-up match was between the Czech Republic’s Jiri Horak and Keeline.<\/p>\n
Finally Keeline went all in with J\u2663 J\u2660 against Horak’s A\u2666<\/span> 9\u2663 after trading the chip lead several times.<\/p>\n
Both players then believed that they won as the board ran out 9\u2665 7\u2665<\/span> 3\u2665 5\u2665 A\u2665. Then Horak realized he had to settle for second place as he spotted the spade flush.<\/p>\n
This meant that the $1 million would go to Keeline!<\/p>\n
Thanks to a more top-heave structure this year Keeling walked away with a bigger payout, although the Colossus II may have been slightly smaller than the Colosuss in 2015.<\/p>\n
Players from 89 different countries were attracted to this year’s addition.<\/p>\n
Jiri Horak ended in 2nd place with $618,000 followed by Farhad Davoudzadeh with $462,749 and Richard Carr with $348,962.<\/p>\n
