Big One for One Drop: 15 Players on the Dinner Break

No ones allowed to talk about bad beats ever again cuz a player just lost A-A to A-A for 11 million chip pot at the other table. #OneDrop Phil Ivey;

Drinan got involved in a preflop raising war with Cary Katz and when all the chips ended up in the middle, it was a pot worth over 11 million chips. Both players turned over pocket Aces, but by the time river was dealt, Katz actually made hearts flush sending Drinan to the rail in a brutal fashion.

PH Reality Show: thought I had $1 million, went over to buy into "One drop", but $130,000 that was supposed to be at cage wasn't there! Phil Hellmuth;

Phil Hellmuth ended up a no-show after information about his participation was confirmed and denied several times during the last night. Apparently, there has been some mix up with the finance, and since the Poker Brat waited the last minute to make up his mind, he will have to sit this one out.

The registration thus closed with 42 entries, creating the prize pool of $37,333,338. The One Drop Foundation will be receiving a donation in the amount of $4,666,662, certainly an amount that can help do a lot of good.

As for poker, eight places will be paid in this tournament, with smallest payout being $1.3 million, while there is $15.3 million reserved for the winner. Runner up will take home close to $8.3 million. That’s what the remaining fifteen will be battling for when they return. For Antonio, there is the added pressure, as he can put himself in a position that no player has ever been in: scoring back to back victories in the richest poker tournament ever held!

In case you want to remember some of the yesterday’s action at the tables, our own Laura and Rikard will quickly take you through it:
