After the dust settled on Day 2 of Event #70: $400 The Colossus at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, 80 players reminded that will all return for their shot at glory.
The talented group of players will all be competing for the coveted WSOP gold bracelet and $501,120 top prize. Currently all players are guaranteed $5,930 for their efforts but each pay jump going forward will account for a significant amount of buy-ins compared to the $400 entry fee.
The current chip leader going into Day 3 is Jesse Kertland, who bagged the big stack on Day 2 and will come into battle with 26,150,000. Others at the top of the leaderboard include Colin Robinson (22,300,000) and Darrick Arreola (19,750,000) to round out the top three.

The chances of this year’s colossus crowning a first time bracelet winner are looking good. Currently there are only four bracelet winners left in the field. James Dempsey (8,275,000), John Gorsuch (4,075,000), Jason Wheeler (2,375,000), and Ashkan Razavi (1,525,000). However, it is totally possible that we may see another story of a two-time bracelet winner being crowned after play concludes. Only time will tell.
Players who found a bag on Day 2 will return on Monday at 10 a.m. local time and play down to a winner with a dinner break time to be determined. They will be playing 40 minute levels and have 15-minute breaks every three levels. Play will resume at Level 33 with 200,000/400,000/400,000 blinds.
Stay tuned in to PokerNews to catch it as it happens live from the tournament floor.

Day 3 of Event #70: $400 The Colossus has begun!
Heads up to a flop of 7♥8♣J♦, Yi-Cheng Yeh checked, inducing a bet from Abraham Serrano for a cool 1,000,000. Yeh made the call.
The turn brought the K♣ and Serrano sized down, sliding out one pink chip for a wager of 500,000. Yeh took a moment to think it over but pushed his hand in the muck.
A flurry of bust outs to start the day had Table 1 break as the players began to consolidate.

Manish Madan went all in from middle position and was isolated by Garrett Fleetwood in late position.
Manish Madan: A♠9♦
Garrett Fleetwood: 10♠10♥
