The World Series of Poker has proudly supported One Drop since the $1,111 One More for One Drop bracelet events debuted in 2013 and this edition will be ninth overall and the first in the WSOP's new home in Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.

All previous winners have taken home more than $500,000 for first place, with the exception of last year's winner, and if trends continue this may be the biggest One Drop event in its history. Each tournament has gathered more than 3,700 entries with the record being set in 2019 with 6,246 entries.

Players have two options when registering into the One Drop. They will receive 20,000 in chips for the $1,000 buy-in and they can double their stack with a $111 donation at registration which goes directly to One Drop.
