Welcome to Day 3 coverage of Event #6: High Roller for One Drop - $111,111 No-Limit Hold'em.
A total of 130 entries took to the felt, and 23 players remain entering Day 3. A total of $505,555 was generated for One Drop, and the tournament prize pool is $13,722,150. The top 20 places will be paid, with a min-cash set at $166,666. However, each remaining player is looking to capture the first-place prize of $3,686,865 and a coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.
On top of the chip counts entering Day 3 is Bertrand Grospellier with 7,040,000. A late surge on Day 2 catapulted Grospellier to the top of the counts. The man known as "ElkY" got the better of 14-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth in a hand that generated a lot of buzz, helping Grospellier cement his status as chip leader beginning Day 3.
The field is stacked with some of poker's biggest names, two of which have had One Drop success before. Antonio Esfandiari and Dan Colman have each won the Big One for One Drop and remain in the hunt to capture another One Drop title. Also among the remaining field are the aforementioned Hellmuth, 2014 Main Event champion Martin Jacobson, Doug Polk, Scott Seiver, and 2017 bracelet-winner Igor Kurganov.
Cards will be in the air at 2 p.m. and the plan for the day is to play until only nine players remain.

Simon Lam raised to 135,000 from middle position before the decision fell on Connor Drinan on the button. He thought for a minute before announcing all in for just under 1.5 million in chips. That was enough to take down the pot as the blinds, as well as Lam, mucked their hands.
In the following hand, Rainer Kempe raised to 135,000 from the hijack, and once again the action was on Drinan. He went into the tank for over a minute, prompting Kempe to call the clock.
The tournament director came over and gave Drinan 30 seconds to act on his hand. Shortly after, Drinan moved all in for 1.78 million. With the decision back on Kempe, he asked for a count, before releasing his hand and relinquishing the pot.
