Agree with that the collusus would have a lot more interesting stuff going on. Probably some absurd poker hands and some donk getting crazy lucky.

Reading their answer on no deal making is also useful hopefully they stick with that answer.

If they want people to play online at the tables they need a massive internet upgrade

Agreed!

Fairly confident the live showing last few years have been their highest rated episodes by a healthy margin for their respected years.

yeah, we're talking about showing prelims. Also, I just looked, it had less than half the viewership as it did it 2008.

But since there's going to be such a huge first prize tons of people will have pieces of each other I'm sure. Way to many people in the event to not have parts of others too

Except it can be a 2200$ event. And people who are selling themselves are going to market this as a 2200$ event.

Also, the amount of people who only fire 1 shell into this is going to be lower than the number who fire multiple shells.

In essence, the colossus is basically a $1500+ event.

The odds that someone wins the colossus with 1 buy-in has to be higher than 10 to 1. Closer to 20 to 1.
