COLOSSUS Lives Up to Its Name as Firmino Beats 16,455 Entries for $752K
- Roberto Firmino Santos Filho wins $752,277 and his first WSOP bracelet.
- 16,455 entries push COLOSSUS prize pool to $6,187,080.
- Defeated Evaldas Narmontas in a fast-paced heads-up finish.
The name promised a big one and the COLOSSUS field delivered.
A total of 16,455 entries piled into the $400 WSOP Online COLOSSUS on GGPoker, sending the prize pool beyond its $5 million guarantee to $6,187,080. At the end of it stood Brazil’s Roberto Firmino Santos Filho, who survived a final table featuring Ole Schemion and Matt Vengrin before beating Evaldas Narmontas heads-up for $752,277 and his first bracelet.
Nine Left From 16,455
Firmino had done enough before the final-table break to return with the lead. His 185.2 million chips were worth roughly 93 big blinds, but Narmontas was close enough on 77 not to make this a walk in the park.
Delafuente returned with 56 big blinds, Vengrin had 55, and two-time bracelet winner Schemion remained dangerous despite starting with only 24.
Schemion was swiftly knocked out in eighth, taking $121,968 and leaving the Brazilian chip leader with one less decorated opponent to worry about.
Vengrin stayed around long enough to reach four-handed play. He had been chasing bracelet number two after finally winning his first at the 2025 WSOP, but his run ended at the hands of Narmontas. Fourth place was worth $344,876.
Narmontas’ push briefly put him at the top, but the tournament changed again almost immediately. Firmino gotQ♦2♥all-in against Delafuente’s9♣8♣. Delafuente connected with the8♦6♦7♣10♦K♦board to make a straight, only for the diamond turn and river to give Firmino a flush.
That was enough to knock Delafuente out in third for $447,233 and restore Firmino’s advantage at exactly the right time.
Heads-up began with Firmino holding more than 500 million chips to Narmontas’ 316 million.
The Norwegian would not go quietly. He doubled twice and forced Firmino to keep playing for it, with the five-second decision clock and absence of time banks giving the duel a considerably quicker rhythm than most bracelet heads-up matches.
Then both players hit the paired board they were looking for. On3♦2♣10♦2♠5♥, Firmino put Narmontas to the test with an overbet shove. Narmontas had8♦2♥ and called with trip deuces.
Firmino's3♥2♦ made a full house, bringing the COLOSSUS to an end and leaving the Norwegian with $579,973 for second.
