A Larger Field Expected for Day 1f of Event #15: �550 Colossus No-Limit Hold'em
It is the start of the final weekend at the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe and it begins with Day 1f in Event #15: �550 Colossus No-Limit Hold'em. There have been five starting flights completed already with nearly 700 total entries recorded. Compared to the previous flights, today is expected to be quite busier with the first of two flights starting at 12 p.m., the latter beginning at 6 p.m.
While the majority of players will have the goal of grabbing a share of the �1,000,000 guaranteed prizepool, much of the poker world has their interest in the WSOP Player of the Year race. This is the final tournament with points up for grabs and all of the contenders will be looking to run up a stack for Day 2. None of the contenders have confirmed their spots in the Day 2 field as of yet so the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Robert Campbell, Shaun Deeb, and now possibly Anthony Zinno and Dario Sammartino should be expected today.
