Adda52 kick-started its most anticipated poker series, Colossus 2022, yesterday. The third edition of the series which returned after a hiatus of two years is being held at the Adda52 LIVE poker room aboard the luxurious Deltin Royale casino in Goa. The series being a High Roller series has some of the most popular high stakes pros all set in Goa looking forward to grinding at the series.

The first event, the 50K Warm Up Bounty event, ended earlier today and crowned Shravan Chhabria the first winner of the series. The event crushed its previous records as it saw participation from 98 entries playing this event. 

The next event on the Adda52 Colossus 2022 schedule, the 200K High Roller, will kick-start today. The most anticipated event will span across two days. Day 1 will start at 2 PM today, 4th August 2022, followed by Day 2 tomorrow, 5th August 2022, at 1 PM. The ₹2,00,000 buy-in event will follow a big blind ante format, beginning at Level 1, featuring blinds 100/200 as each player sits with a starting stack of 100K chips. Each level will last for 40 minutes, and the players will get two 15-minute breaks on Day 1 at the end of every three levels each. There will be a 20-minute dinner break after Level 9. Post dinner, the players will resume and play four more levels before Day 1 ends. The late-registration period ends until the start of level 16 on Day 2. This means players can enter on Day 2 also.
