At this point we have already seen 324 entries to the noon flight of the $300 + $30 Colossus, including 52 re-entries. That means that in just the last few hours we’ve collected almost $100,000 to put towards the guaranteed $1,000,000 prize pool. Not bad for half of a Saturday afternoon!

And because play will continue until the field is reduced to 15% of it’s total size (after registration closes at 4:30pm), we expect to see about 50 players qualify for Day 2 from this flight. Of the 324 entries today, only 203 players are still at their seats playing, so if you were to join right at the end of the late registration period (in the next thirty minutes), all you would have to do is outlast 150 players to move on!

Those aren’t bad odds, especially considering the fact that the average chip stack is only 31,000 at the moment (and players begin with 20,000 chips). Are you feeling lucky? Do you think you could skip the first four hours and make the cut? There’s only one way to find out….

That said, if you prefer to grind out a full day of play, you can always wait for the next live flight (Day 1F), which also starts at 4:30pm. Either way, good luck to all!
