The Colossus is in full swing in the Tournament Hall and Tent at Playground Poker Club, but attention will quickly turn to to the Main Event – and for some players, it already has. The first of two Online Day 1s ran last night on partypoker and attracted 48 entries who each started with 50,000 in chips and played through 10 levels before 18 players “bagged” their virtual chips.
The chip leader after this first flight is Ryan Boudreau who managed to accumulate 260,200 chips in Day 1A Online, but there are many other players also on the initial results list who are well known at Playground, including Mike Leah, Edward Hislop, Dan Edery, Timothy Deering, and Sylvain Siebert.
Play in the Main Event continues tonight at 7:00pm on partypoker with Day 1B – Online, and then attention will turn to Live action play in the tournament with Day 1A on Tuesday, August 28th.
