The action is heating up on Day 1C, as we approach the end of the first level of play. There have been over 140 entries so far, and the ice has been broken on the re-entries. Everyone in the field is familiar with the format-it offers a single re-entry on each Day 1 and nine starting flights-so the players are coming out firing, looking to run up their stacks as quickly as possible.

Today’s flight also offers some added value in the form of a bounty on Larry Robinson. Should anyone eliminate the habs legend this afternoon, they will claim a prize of $500 partypoker LIVE dollars!

The Colossus continues

Event #1 of the WSOP-C Playground, the $300+$30 Colossus, has brought out a whopping 821 entries between the live and online starting flights that are in the bag. Day 1C kicks off at noon and will add significantly to the already impressive number of entries in this lead-off event.

Players will have until the beginning of the seventh level of play to join the field and try to run up their 20,000 chip starting stack. This is a single re-entry event so players can opt to fire a second bullet on each Day 1 starting flight before the end of the late registration period.

Larry “Big Bird” Robinson will be in the field this afternoon, with a bounty on his head. Whoever felts the hockey legend will collect a $500 partypoker LIVE dollar bonus!

The number of entries is ticking up by the minute, and the cards will be in the air soon. Good luck to all!

Days 1C and 1D in the Colossus today!

Yesterday was the first day of Live action in the $300 + $30 Colossus, Event #1 in the 2018 WSOP-C Playground. It was a massive first day of starting flights – there were 432 entries spread across Days 1A and 1B. When added to the 389 Online entries, this brings the total number of entries so far to 821.

Today is the second full day of starting flights in the event, with Day 1C scheduled to begin at 12:00pm and Day 1D following at 4:30pm. Both flights will play through 14 levels of 40 minutes each, with breaks following every 3rd level. Players will start with 20,000 in tournament chips, and every player will be shooting for a coveted spot in Day 2 in the event.

Day 1C this afternoon will be particularly appealing, because hockey legend Larry Robinson will join us for the flight – and there will be a special bounty awarded to the player that eliminates him! The lucky player will receive $500 in partypoker LIVE Dollars!

Current chip leader Jonathan Bussieres has set an impressive target – he accumulated a huge stack of 792,000 chips on Day 1B. The chip average, however, is a much more modest 173,500 – definitely within reach. And if you don’t succeed today – there are more starting flights on Saturday and Sunday. Anyone that really wants to reach Day 2 will have plenty of opportunities to try!

Good luck to all of the players that take shots in the event today!
