Is the Little One for One Drop Going To Be A Big One?
The day is here, the day 'The Little One for One Drop' kicks off. Members of the poker community have been talking about this event for quite some time and all things point towards this tournament being massive.
It's not just another $1,111 No-Limit Hold'em tournament; it's different in many aspects. The main difference from most tournaments played this summer is the charity aspect. $111 from every entry goes to One Drop, Guy Laliberté's non-profit organization which strives to ensure that water is accessible to all, today and forever.
In the 'every entry' part we find another twist, since during the first four levels of play on Day 1A and 1B people can choose to re-enter if and when they bust. Players can even enter both flights, although it will cost them $1,111 each time of course. Also different than any other tournament is that the starting stack isn't the standard three times the buy-in. Instead, players receive 4,000 in chips every time they enter.
There will be no dinner break on Day 1A and 1B. Instead, there will be a 20 minute break after every two levels played. The plan is to play eight 60-minute levels on both Day 1A and 1B, making the structure look like this:
| 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 tournament starts at noon and we expect a lot of players to register. We are ready for a full day of updates with hand descriptions, photos and interviews from this special World Series of Poker tournament. 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.

Baker Not In Yet
Nível 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
Amanda Baker walked up to her seat in the Brasilia Silver section, only to find somebody already sitting there. They both had a receipt for the same seat so a floor was called over. Turned out, the gentleman already sitting there had received a ticket for Day 1B, not for 1A and was thus seating in the wrong seat. It was not his fault though, he had received the wrong ticket at the cage this morning. The dealer hadn't noticed the wrong day on the ticket and he had already played several hands. The organization is going to solve the problem, but as of now Amanda Baker isn't playing yet.

It Just Got Real
Nível 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
After making her name by appearing on MTV's hit series The Real World, Trishelle Cannatella has tried to transition her on-screen skills to the felt, with a 3rd place finish at the 2010 WPT Invitational Tournament to her credit.
Cannatella is in the house here this morning, just a short walk from the Palms Casino where her debut season of The Real World: Las Vegas was filmed, but the Rio has not proven to be as hospitable.
We saw Cannatella drop an early pot to cut her starting stack in half, after she fired two barrels with second pair. The board read 
by the turn, and Cannatella led out for a bet of 800. Her opponent studied the board for a moment before tossing out a call, and the 
completed the board on the river.
Cannatella bet it again, this time for 1,100, and the other player quickly called with 
. With just 
, Cannatella's hand was second best, and she was forced to start the day from a short-stacked position.
