Eleven Starting Flights Combine for Day 2 of $300 Colossus Starting at 11 a.m. Local time
The first of 15 WSOP-C ring events will reach a conclusion today at the 2024 World Series of Poker Circuit Playground here at Playground.

That field has been whittled down to just 203 players going into the second and final day.
Andrew Fahey holds the overall chip lead going into Day 2, having bagged 1,715,000 at the end of Day 1k worth 285 big blinds. Other top stacks to start the day today include Day 1j chip leader Jeffrey Cormier (1,473,000), Day 1d chip leader Joseph Jarvis (1,152,000) and Day 1c chip leader Yves Perras (1,110,000).

Alvarez Takes One Early
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jason Alvarez limped in from the small blind before Walt Asatoorian raised to 16,000 from the big blind. Alvarez made the call.
The flop came A♦9♦10♠ and Alvarez check-called a 14,000 continuation bet from his opponent.
Alvarez lead out with a 35,000 bet on the 3♦ turn which was enough to force a fold from Asatoorian.
