Welcome to Day 4 of Event #7: $565 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em where cards will be in the air in just a few hours at 2 p.m. local time. After three long days of poker the massive 13,070 entry field is down to the final table.
USA's Sang Liu is leading the way with 18,205,000 after catching fire late on Day 3. The relatively unknown Liu has just five recorded tournament cashes on his Hendon Mob for $7,399. Liu has already locked up his largest career score and is now guaranteed at least $57,425.
Liu vaulted to the top of the chip counts holding 
against the 
of Michael Cohen on the 
flop. All of the chips went in the middle and the turn 
improved Liu to a full house leaving Cohen drawing to just one out. The river 
sealed the deal for Liu eliminating Cohen in 11th and moving Liu into the chip lead.
