While the event\u2019s COLOSSUS segment prize pool has grown up significantly, its popularity has seemed to peter out for reasons that go beyond organizers and observers alike. <\/p>\n<p>WSOP has been punching up its efforts to reinvent itself as an attractively ostentatious event, introducing a <strong>hefty prize pool soaring up to $1 million<\/strong> for the individual to distinguish themselves as the best player around. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wsop-a-look-at-the-diminishing-numbers\">WSOP: A Look at the Diminishing Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>WSOP\u2019s COLOSSUS event kicked off in 2016, attracting 22,374 entrants. The then-winner, Cord Garcia, managed to walk away with $638,880 under his belt and a new title to his career. The meetup itself was a watershed moment, reaffirming a new event in the world of poker (as a previous edition ran in 2015). <\/p>\n<p>A year later, WSOP said it would secure $1 million for the winner, but fewer people flocked to the tables, with Benjamin Keeling besting <strong>21,613 entrants<\/strong> and clearing his way to victory. In 2017, the numbers continued to fall, and we saw <strong>18,054 people<\/strong> turn up, with Thomas Pomponio winning the prize pool.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it has come to this. Paltry <strong>13,070 entrants<\/strong> managed to turn up at the event this year. A pity! If we look at the hard numbers, that\u2019s a <strong>42{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} dip<\/strong> compared to 2015 and <strong>a 27{c118e36310c7bc75bef8f724f80ee0a52cfaf44be22f7e80906142f4c81518da} slump<\/strong> compared to 2017. The announcement of one of the juiciest poker tournaments out there has not been enough to incentivize people into coming, it seems. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"felicio-takes-1m-over-gleeful-liu\">Felicio takes $1m Over Gleeful Liu<\/h2>\n<p>The truth of the matter is, WSOP needs to make some effort in bringing people and giving them a reason to play. The event itself saw three people battling it out until the very end, with <strong>Roberly Felicio<\/strong>, <strong>Sang Liu<\/strong> and <strong>Joel Wurtzel<\/strong> at the table. <\/p>\n<p>For a moment there, it looked like <strong>Liu would be the ultimate victor<\/strong>, bringing home with him $1 million.
