Event 1, nearly a bracelet for the UK as KerryJane Craigie of the London Hippodrome finished 2nd behind Christopher Sands for $46,000


Event 2 Colossus II

two flights yesterday and 1b is ongoing

1a 108 of 2153 are reported through but will wait for the official end of day sheets to be made public to be sure.

Plenty of British interest near the top of the chip counts including Max Silver

there are another two flights today at 10am and 4pm Vegas time, then another two tomorrow


Event 3 the $10k Seven card stud championship begins tomorrow

[TightEnd]

After 1a and 1b of Colossus there are 5402 entries

over the four starting flights last year there were 22,374 players

Tom "Middy" Middleton is right near the top of the 1b chip counts

other notables who played on day 1 are

Allen Kessler,
Phil Laak,
Dutch Boyd,
Barry Greenstein,
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi,
and former Main Event champions Carlos Mortensen and Joe Cada.



"While these players get a rest, we still have another four Day 1 flights to play and if they so wish, players that have busted 1A or 1B can re-enter into a later flight, even if they have finished in the money. This allows players to cash more than once in the Colossus, as each flight pays 15 percent of the field and will play into the money. All remaining players will reconvene on Sunday at 2pm for the combined Day 2 of play."

Does that mean that one player could be playing multiple stacks on day two, will they be merged or do the smaller stacks forfeit and just collect the min-cash?

I think they get into the money during day 1 but because they play 18 levels if you bust late on you can play another day one so can "cash" more than once.

For example 465 cashed in Day 1d but 105 were left at the end of day 1d

Cheers Simon, that makes sense.

If you bag chips at the end of a day, you can't buy into any subsequent day 1s.
