Event #58: $1,111 Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em
Dia 1b Iniciado
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. This World Series of Poker tournament is unlike any other, and we are proud to being you the latest updates, photos, hand recaps, and chip counts. Take a look at the PokerNews Daily Update video to get ready for the action, and then keep it here throughout the day for continuous coverage live from the floor of the Rio.
With today marking America's Independence Day, the tournament director just led a rousing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, with the assembled field standing at attention and Old Glory on the stage to his right.
Nível: 1
Blinds: 25/25

These are just a few of the pros and notable names we've found so far in the Brasilia Room, but with spillover into the Amazon Room there are sure to be more mentions to come.

After the long trek across the hall and through the Amazon Room, we've found a few more notables in the field.

After PokerNews broke through the bracelet barrier to begin this World Series of Poker, with Chad Holloway taking down the Casino Employee's event, our very own Tim Duckworth is here today trying to score the second.
We will be sure to track Duckworth's progress throughout the day, as PokerNews looks to add another bracelet to the company trophy case.
Here are few more of the players we've seen taking their seats during the first level of play.

With the board reading , Adam "roothlus" Levy tossed out a bet of 200, and that was enough to earn the pot.
The play so far here on Day 1B has been slow and steady, with players feeling no need to rush things despite the option to reenter if they go bust.
