This Day in WSOP History: Dan Colman Wins $1M One Drop
This summer, PokerNews has decided to relive some of the memories of past WSOPs. This "Day in WSOP History" will harken back to the most poignant moments of WSOPs from 2005-2019.
Today, July 1, is a special day, especially in WSOP Big One for One Drop history. In 2012, it was the highest-stakes tournament ever held. The spectacle was grand and every part memorable, from the entrances right down to the iconic barefoot winner's photo with Antonio Esfandiari holding stacks of cash aloft.
While nothing could ever really duplicate the magic of the first million-dollar tournament, anticipation remained nonetheless high for the second attempt in 2014.
That is when Daniel Negreanu, who is currently in action in this tournament, went heads-up against Daniel Colman for the title and $15.3 million top prize.
