After 18 levels of 30 minutes each, Day 1d of Event #7: $565 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold��em has come to a conclusion at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. In total there were 1,541 entries for the late Sunday flight with 62 players managing to bag and tag their chips for Day 2, which takes place on Tuesday, June 5th. Taking the chip lead honors for Day 1d is Philip Alberquerque with 503,000 in chips.
Alberquerque collected a bunch of those chips when he held pocket kings and eliminated two other players who held pocket tens and jacks. Other big stacks to take notice of today were Daniel Cai (272,000), Alex Foxen (268,000), Maxime Heroux (260,000), Ilkin Amirov (256,000), and WSOP bracelet winner, Safiya Umerova (240,000).
Other notable players that found a bag at the end of the day include Kenny Hallaert, Mihai Niste, Vlad Darie, 10-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey, and one-time bracelet winner Larry Wright.
Unfortunately, not everyone was lucky enough to make it through. Players like Georgios Sotiropoulos, Dan Heimiller, Scotty Nguyen, Marc MacDonnell, Jason Wheeler, Barry Greenstein, Michael Gathy, Ryan Laplante, Kevin MacPhee, Chris Ferguson, Keven Stammen, Jeremy Ausmus, Bryan Piccioli, Steven van Zadelhoff, Kristen Bicknell, Tony Dunst, and Brandon Cantu all hit the rail empty-handed.
There are two more starting flights on Monday, 4 June, with Day 1e kicking off at 10 a.m. and Day 1f starting at 5 p.m. Each Day 1 will play eighteen 30-minute levels, with a 20-minute break happening after every four levels. The blinds will commence at 25/50 and players will start with a stack of 5,000. The late registration and reentry period will be open for the first eight levels of each starting day. Players who make it through to Day 2 on Tuesday, June 5 at 2 p.m., will play ten 60-minute levels before bagging for Day 3 on Wednesday, June 6.
