Organized in a multiple Day 1 format, the WSOP Online COLOSSUS recorded a total of 16,455 entries, promoting 1,675 players to Day 2, which took place on Monday (14).

Narmontas did what was within his reach throughout the heads-up, fighting a fair battle, but without managing to stop Firmino’s momentum. In the final hand, the Brazilian put the Norwegian all in on the river, with the board showing T3225. Narmontas called with about 14 bbs and showed 82o, but his three of a kind was ultimately beaten by the Brazilian’s full house, who had 32o.
Therefore, Brazil now reaches six bracelets in the current WSOP Online. The last one came at the end of last week, with Nilson Júnior in Event 19. In the country ranking, the green and yellow flag leads, with Russia in second with four titles, Germany and Spain with two each. The country with the most bracelets at the end of the series will have an exclusive freeroll for its players with a guaranteed prize of US$ 200,000.
