Keeline had almost given up poker, but saved two bullets for the Colossus. His first bullet wasn’t a succes, and his second one seemed not to be as well. At the end of the first day, he got kings all-in against aces, and was down to a single ante worth 500. However, he made the biggest comeback ever and managed to win the tournament!
