Taking a glance at the top stacks after Day 1b of Event #19: $500 The COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em, you'd be forgiven this was a 1,000-player tournament. However, after 3,309 players entered on the second of four starting flights, you'll find the likes of Jeff Madsen, Jared Jaffee and Theo Jorgensen comfortably inside the top ten.

Looking further down you'll find the likes of Nicholas Rigby, Barry Shulman and Kathy Liebert all making it through to Day 2.

Leading the way is Frenchman Theo Rebour who bagged 1,504,000, slightly ahead of David Levy (1,495,000) and Ryan Woodward (1,465,000). Rebour already has one cash this year in Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions, while Levy is yet to register a cash at the WSOP since a 241st-place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $50,000.
