The Muck: How Many Bullets Does It Take to Bag in The Colossus?

Fire another bullet, of course. And another. And another. And another.

WSOP bracelet winner Grant Hinkle joked on Twitter that the WSOP Colossus is the "softest $5k event of the year." The buy-in was $565. Players were allowed one re-entry per flight and can buy into any (or all) of the six flights which means after 12 bullets, a player's investment could be as much as $6,780.

It seems Hinkle was in good company. Many poker pros were prepared to fire multiple bullets and fire multiple bullets they did, contributing to the 18,053 total entries for the tournament.
