Day 1B of Event #58 ($1,111 Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em) is on the Way!
Today marks the second flight of Day 1 for the Little One for One Drop, and if yesterday's stunning turnout is any indication, today will see thousands of players take their seats for a chance to take down one of the last bracelets of the summer.
The Little One for One Drop was envisioned as a platform for recreational players to contribute to One Drop, Guy Laliberté's non-profit organization One Drop, which works to provide clean water that is accessible for those living in developing nations. Every entrant to the tournament will be donating $111 of their buy-in to the charity, which has become an integral part of the poker community during the last year.
During the first four levels of play on Day 1A and 1B, players will be permitted to reenter the tournament in the event they go bust, and yesterday's Day 1A saw plenty of pros utilize multiple bullets while trying to build their stack. There will also be no dinner break this evening, and the structure sheet will run as follows:
Level | Small blind | Big blind | Ante | Duration | Re-entry possible? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 25 | 25 | - | 60 minutes | yes |
2 | 25 | 50 | - | 60 minutes | yes |
20 minute break | |||||
3 | 50 | 100 | - | 60 minutes | yes |
4 | 75 | 150 | - | 60 minutes | yes |
20 minute break | |||||
5 | 100 | 200 | - | 60 minutes | no |
6 | 100 | 200 | 25 | 60 minutes | no |
20 minute break | |||||
7 | 150 | 300 | 25 | 60 minutes | no |
8 | 200 | 400 | 50 | 60 minutes | no |
The excitement begins at 12 noon local time, and judging from the turnout yesterday we expect to see a diverse collection of seasoned pros, hopeful amateurs, and bankrolled players using their money for a good cause.
