The Colossus III is underway and Day 1b starts at 4 p.m. local time. This is the second of six starting flights. Players will play 18 30-minute levels before bagging for Day 2 and each player is allowed one reentry per flight. The Colossus III is Event #5 of the 2017 World Series of Poker.
The winner of Colossus III is guaranteed $1,000,000 and the WSOP gold bracelet. Last year, Ben Keeline won the Colossus after being down to one single chip. Whoever wins this year's edition will join Keeline and Cord Garcia, the original Colossus champion. It would not be a surprise to see both Keeline and Garcia in the field for today's flight.

CJ Sand, who won last year's WSOP Casino Employees Event, is in the field for Day 1b of Colossus III. He says he wished he had done a better job and defended his Casino Employees Event title, but will settle for success in this tournament.
To his left, Julie Cornelius is looking for her first WSOP gold bracelet. She has earned $54,000 in WSOP tournament winnings on 17 cashes.
Dan Dizenzo is also in the field. He has 24 WSOP cashes and a little more than $320,000 in WSOP tournament winnings. He is also looking for his first bracelet.
Katherine Baresse is firing the Colossus III. She kicked off her WSOP 2017 earlier in the series when she joined John Morgan, Dan Holbrook, and Sasha Barrese in the $10,000 Tag Team Championship.

Liina Vark flopped a set of fours on the first hand of the day and got all in against a player with top pair. Vark held and sent her opponent to the rail on the very first hand of the day.

Ben Keeline has taken his seat in Day 1b of the Colossus III. He won this event last year for $1,000,000 and would be the first-ever back-to-back Colossus champ if he managed to win this tournament. It's going to be a long road, but his first step just started as he checked in at table 30 in the Amazon room.
Eric Baldwin just doubled up with pocket queens versus pocket nines and is just under double the starting stack.
Below are some of the other notable players in the field so far.
