Event #1 of the WSOP-C Playground, the $300 + $30 Colossus, rolls on this afternoon with what promises to be another busy starting flight for this exciting event.

The players will take to the felts with starting stacks of 20,000 in chips to battle it out until only 15% of the starting field remains. All starting flights for the Colossus allow for unlimited re-entries and provide an extended late registration and re-entry period that will allow players to (re-)join the action until the beginning of the ninth level of play at 4:30pm.

With eight starting flights already in the books for the Colossus, there have been nearly 1,400 entries, and 209 players have already secured their spots in Day 2. Players can enter multiple starting flights; should they qualify for Day 2 more than once, they will resume play with their largest stack and receive the associated cash prize for any other qualifying stacks, which will be forfeited. There will be lots of chips in play this afternoon, making this flight a great opportunity for players to improve on qualifying stacks from previous flights.
