The 2016 World Series of Poker is off to a roaring start, marked in particular by the return of that monster of a poker tournament, the $565 buy-in Colossus, a.k.a. Colossus II.
Last year's inaugural running of what was then the lowest buy-in open bracelet event ever staged by the WSOP broke records, drawing a mind-boggling 22,374 entries. Cord Garcia managed to outlast that enormous field, taking away a $638,880 first prize.
Players are already zipping through the first levels of Flight A, the first of six starting flights that will be playing out over the next three days.
