Flashback: 2018 Colossus Winner Roberly Felicio
The fourth installment of the $565 Colossus took place last year and attracted 13,070 entries, which was the fourth most in live tournament poker history behind the previous three years of the tournament.
The monster field generated a prize pool of $6,535,000 and at the end of it all, Roberly Felicio was the man to take down the title, the bracelet and $1,000,000.
Just after he had his winner photo taken, Felicio said: "I’m very happy, it was a tough final table with tough opponents. Heads-up was very emotional. But I’m very excited to take home my first bracelet, I still can’t believe it.
“It was a wonderful experience," Felicio said about his high-profile rail. "I studied a lot and had a great coach in Felipe Ramos. I remember sitting down with Andre Akkari for the first time, I was shaking. And now I have a bracelet, just like him, and I still haven’t comprehended it.”
There hasn't been much World Series of Poker action for Felicio since winning his first bracelet but that doesn't mean he hasn't been playing poker. Since last year July, Felicio has cashed 14 times for $75,168 in different international tournaments. Those include a 5th place finish for $17,602 in the R$ 6,000 No Limit Hold'em - High Roller Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP), European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona, WSOP International Circuit in Rio de Janeiro, and his biggest cash since winning his bracelet coming from $10,300 No Limit Hold'em - PCA Main Event PokerStars Caribbean Adventure where he finished 74th for $24,760.
