The Final Flight of Colossus III is on Deck!
Four flights of the much-anticipated Colossus III are in the books, with the fifth one being played out right now.
Today's flight 1f is slated to begin at 4 p.m. local time and will be the last chance for players to spin up a stack with the hopes of taking down the guaranteed $1,000,000 first-place prize!
Players will battle it out for 18 levels, lasting 30 minutes each. Registration will remain open until the end of Level 6, with one reentry per player during the registration period.
After the close of registration in flight 1e, the total entries has hit 14,131. Here is a breakdown of the entries for all flights thus far:
| Flight | Entries |
|---|---|
| A | 2,756 |
| B | 1,982 |
| C | 3,102 |
| D | 2,324 |
| E | 3,967 |
Flight 1a has been the biggest so far, but it is very possible that a 1f will see a surge of players trying their hardest to make it through to Day 2.

William Kassouf is Having Fun
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
More and more familiar faces have found their way into this last flight of the Colossus III, including the chatty William Kassouf.
Upon passing by his table, he was joking with the players and asked to buy the button. After being reminded that he can't buy the button in a tournament, another player joked with him and said, "They made a rule about stalling because of you, and here you are, still stalling", he laughed.
Here are some more familiar faces in the field:
