Day 1C of Event #7: $565 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold’em will begin play at 10 a.m and as always it will be held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The first two flights were held yesterday and accumulated a total of 3,495 runners. The COLOSSUS has surpassed 18,000 runners over the last three years and will be looking to hit that mark once again during the 49th WSOP.
There will be three more starting flights after Day 1C, with Day 1D at 5 p.m. tonight, Day 1E at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning, and Day 1F starting at 5 p.m. tomorrow evening. Each Day 1 will have 18 30-minute levels, with a 20-minute break happening after every four levels. The blinds will be starting off at 25/50 and players will have a starting stack of 5,000. There will be late registration open for the first eight levels (10 a.m. ≈2:40 p.m.) and one re-entry for players unlucky enough to bust out.
Players who make it through one of the first flights will move to Day 2 on Tuesday, June 5th at 2 p.m and will play ten 60-minute levels before moving onto Day 3 on Wednesday, June 6th. All remaining players from Day 3 will move onto the final Day, in hopes of being crowned a winner and put in the same category as the likes of Thomas Pomponio (2017 COLOSSUS Bracelet Winner), Ben Keeline (2016 COLOSSUS Bracelet Winner), and Cord Garcia (2105 COLOSSUS Bracelet Winner).
