Within the series WSOP 2015 the winner of the first and cheapest tournament in the history of the World Series of Poker has been determined - "the Colossus".

The organizers earned for the tournament $1'454'310 ($65 from each entrance.) And here is the winner, who became the 25-year-old
Cord Garcia received only $638'880 (5.7% of the total prize money), which caused a wave of indignation among many professionals.

For example, last year the winner of the tournament
Jonathan Dimmig Millionaire Maker Winner received $1'319'587, which is over 12%.
