2015 WSOP Day 3: Wang Defeats Kenney for Gold; Colossus Kicks Off

Day 3 of the 2015 World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas saw an historic tournament kick off as Event #5: The Colossus $565 No-Limit Hold'em held its first two starting flights. Though thousands upon thousands packed the halls of the Rio for the biggest tournament in Series' history, that wasn't the only attraction. Elsewhere, a winner emerged in the first open-bracelet event of the summer, and two unlikely foes engaged in an epic heads-up duel.
