Flashback: 2015 Colossus Winner Cord Garcia

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Inaugural Colossus Champion Cord Garcia

Back in 2015, the inaugural 'Colossus' became the largest tournament in live poker history, attracting 22,374 entrants creating a staggering $11,187,000 (the largest in any live poker event under $5,000 buy-in).

By the time the tournament had reached the final table, Aditya Prasetyo was the chip leader with around a third of the chips in play, with Kenny Hallaert and Ray Henson also part of the final nine.

However, in the end, it was Cord Garcia who took down the tournament, winning his first WSOP bracelet and a cool $638,880 to go with it.

"I feel accomplished. I feel satisfied. Obviously, you can't ever picture winning a 22,000 person tournament," he told PokerNews at the time. "It is my breakthrough, but at the same time I know I'm capable of doing as good, better or bigger things."

Since 2015, Garcia has added a second WSOP Circuit ring to his collection and has already had a deep run here at the 2019 WSOP, finishing third in the $10,000 Heads-Up Championship.
