What started with 22,374 players is now down to the final nine. On Tuesday, Event#5: The Colossus played down from 39 players to the final table, which meant plenty of players saw their dreams of winning poker's biggest-ever live tournament come to an end.
Among those to leave empty handed were Mike Leah (39th - $23,022), Ryan Laplante (29th - $27,215), Anthony Spinella (22nd - $32,352), Adam Lamphere (19th - $32,352), and Bradley Burns (10th - $55,968), who suffered a great deal of bad luck on the last hand of the day, the same hand that saw Aditya Prasetyo bag and tag the chip lead with 30% of the chips in play.
