Records were set on many fronts this summer at the 2015 World Series of Poker. The 22,374 total entries in The Colossus were by far the most of any live tournament in history, and the 14,284 unique entries this event generated were easily the most ever for any live event, let alone the WSOP. The Colossus was also the catalyst that led several to more WSOP records being set. Among them were a total of 103,512 total entries spread across 68 events with 11,643 total cashes in those events.
Colossus or not, topping six figures in entries is no small feat achieved by the WSOP, and it's the first time the WSOP ever surpassed 100,000.
