The 2019 WSOP Colossus gives players 40,000 chips to start and a much deeper structure. The 2019 edition of the World Series of Poker Colossus event has a bunch of changes when compared to the 2018 version of the event. In fact, almost everything other than the event’s name has been changed for this year’s WSOP, but players should very much. Normally, 986th place is not the greatest finish in an MTT, but when you’re talking about the biggest live tournament of the year, it’s quite a feat.

Colossus Tournament 2017 Bracket
Despite the disappointing turnout, the field was still large enough to easily surpass the $8 million guarantee with a prize pool of $9,026,500. A cool $1 million of that is already reserved for the eventual winner, who will be determined late Wednesday, June 7.
Just like 2016, there were six starting flights spread out over three days. Here is a breakdown of the field by flight.
