Poker, $1,000,000 One Drop Tournie starts today

[ChesterDave]

I know a few people on here play, possibly even watch a bit of poker so in case you'd missed the news.

Running for the next three days the biggest poker even in the world is about to get started.

$1,000,000 entry fee for 48 players.
$111,111 of each entry fee will go to the One Drop charity to provide clean water for those who do not have access to it ($5.3m)
Rake free so every penny of the remaining $888,889 goes to the prize pool.

First place gets a not too shabby $18.3m (and some loose change)

Surprised at the guy on day 1 who folded Quad 8's to an all in bet

I saw that hand, horrible, Rast flopped the nut flush, Tricket hit trips and probably wasn't dropping without the 4th heart coming and then his quad came in the river, nothing Rast could have done. Evil game sometimes

we have a winner....

Fell asleep when it was down to heads up but he had all the momentum, not surprised he won. Some payday!
