WSOP Review: Keeline Makes a Beeline For The Colossus II; Berg Cool as Ice to Win the Bracelet in DC

Lee Davy keeps you posted on all the latest news from the World Series of Poker including Ben Keeline’s victory in the Colossus II, Lawrence Berg winning a bracelet in the Dealer’s Choice, and much more.

Ben Keeline came into the Colossus II final table as the favourite on paper, and he used all of that experience to ensure he walked away with the bracelet and the million dollars first prize.

It’s the second gob of gold that Keeline has taken from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) after winning a World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOP) gold ring back in 2013. His biggest achievement before becoming a millionaire was to finish runner-up to Jose Montes in a WSOPC Main Event field in Choctaw picking up $218,762.

Keeline defeated 21,613 entrants, the second largest field in live tournament history. It was a final table that included two players from the Czech Republic and a lot of potential upsets with a field of limited live tournament ITM experience. The exception being Jonathan Borenstein, who clocked it at over half a million dollars thanks to some deep runs in World Poker Tour (WPT) events.
