2016 WSOP Day 3: Thousands More Come Through For Colossus II
2016 WSOP Day 3: Thousands More Come Through For Colossus II 0001The 2016 World Series of Poker continued in Las Vegas on Friday with the third and fourth of six starting flights for the $565 Colossus II drawing thousands more players.
The inaugural Colossus set a record for entries in a live poker tournament, drawing 22,374. Organizers tweaked the structure and format this year, including adding two more starting days in an attempt to draw even more entries. However, it now appears that unless the final two starting days draw more than 10,000 players combined, Colossus II will not outdraw its predecessor.
