Der Amerikaner Benjamin Keeline setzt sich im WSOP Massenevent The Colossus gegen 21.612 Teilnehmer durch und gewinnt die festgeschriebene Siegprämie in dem Turnier von $1.000.000. Das Mega-Turnier startete bereits am 02. Juni mit dem ersten von insgesamt sechs Flights. Danach dauerte das Poker-Spektakel weitere drei Tage bis ein Sieger gefunden wurde.
An den Final Table schafften es bis auf zwei Spieler aus der Tschechischen Republik ausschließlich US-Spieler. Einer der beiden Tschechen, Jiri Horak, kam bis in Heads-Up und war dem Bracelet lange Zeit näher als sein Gegner. Nach etlichen Führungswechseln musste sich Horak dann aber doch Ben Keeline geschlagen geben. Für seine Runner-Up Platzierung gab es immernoch ein sattes Preisgeld von $618.000.
Bester Deutscher in dem Massenturnier wurde Bastian Fischer aus Detmold, der seinen Stuhl auf Platz 23 räumen musste. Dafür kassierte Bastian ein Preisgeld von $35.584.
