Event #34: $500 COLOSSUS is set to conclude today, with the remaining players having fought through literally thousands of competitors for a shot at the coveted gold bracelet.
This year's COLOSSUS registered an astounding 16,269 entries, and with such massive participation, the total prizepool has climbed to an impressive $6,751,635. A life-changing reward of $550,000 awaits the winner.
Nine players remain in contention for the title, and for many, like Yuefan Wang, Karabet Keshishyan, and Justin Smith, the current guaranteed prize marks the pinnacle of their poker careers.
However, they face seasoned veterans on their journey to this dream wealth. The biggest threat is undoubtedly Eric Baldwin, a holder of two WSOP bracelets with nearly $10 million in tournament earnings. Also in the mix is Jose Orozco Gomez, who knows the feel of a COLOSSUS final, having finished 6th in this event back in 2023.
