May 29 is here, and with it comes one of the most historic days in poker.
Event #5: $565 Colossus No-Limit Hold'em is a tournament the likes of which the game has never seen. Featuring a buy-in of $565 and a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million, this event has had the poker world abuzz for months since its announcement in late 2014. Anyone with a dream, a few Ben Franks, and even a small amount of poker know-how has a shot to become a millionaire.
Thousands have streamed into the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino from all over the world, packing the hallways to the gills as they inch forward in massive lines to register the event.
