It’s August 23rd, and here at Playground Poker Club, that means one thing: the beginning of the first-ever WSOP-C Playground! This marks the return of the World Series of Poker Circuit to Canada after a two-year absence, and is also the kick-off event of Season IV of the WSOP International Circuit. This series features a 7 WSOP-C Ring Events and a total of $4,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools – in other words, its guaranteed to be huge!
Live poker action gets underway today at 12:00pm with Day 1A of the Colossus, which is Event #1 in the WSOP-C Playground and features a $1,000,000 guarantee. The tournament is a $300 + $30 NL Hold’em event with one entry and one re-entry permitted per starting flight. Registration is open until the beginning of level 7 of each starting flight, and players may play in as many starting flights as they desire to try and qualify – with a huge stack – for Day 2.
Today is the beginning of Live starting flights in the Colossus, but it’s not really the beginning of the tournament. Four Online Day 1s have already been held on partypoker, and there are already 37 Day 2 qualifiers from the Online portion of the event. You can see all of the Day 1 results on the official Colossus – Combined Day 1 Results page.
Good luck to everyone playing today, and all week in the Colossus!
