Event #7: $565 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold’em Day 1f Begins at 5 p.m.
The sixth and final starting flight for Event #7: $565 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em kicks off at 5 p.m. local time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Day 1e, which began at 10 a.m. Monday morning, received over 3,200 entries, so Day 1f will most likely draw quite a sizeable field.
The first four Day 1s drew a combined total of 7,014 entries and 279 players have already bagged chips. Leading the way at the moment are Tony Parille (607,0000) from Day 1a, Christopher Haydt (419,000) from Day 1b, Florian Duta (523,000) from Day 1c, and Philip Alberquerque (503,000) from Day 1d.
Alongside the current chip leaders, a whole slew of familiar faces have already advanced to Day 2. Among them are Ralph Massey (196,000), Barry Shulman (160,000), Kenny Hallaert (157,000), Eric Baldwin (112,000), and Lauren Roberts (54,000). Ten-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey will take 63,000 chips out of the bag for Day 2 play, and 2009 Main Event Champion Joe Cada, fresh off his third career bracelet win in Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout, advanced with an 88,000-chip stack.
All Day 1's play out over the course of 18 30-minute levels and every player begins with 5,000 starting chips. Late registration and re-entry remain open until the beginning of Level 9. Each player is permitted one re-entry per starting flight.
