Moreno Looking to Continue Heater on Day 3 of Event #71: $1,111 One More For One Drop

There are still 319 players in the running to take down the first-place prize of $535,610 and the World Series of Poker gold bracelet in the charity tournament Event #71: $1,111 One More For One Drop No-Limit Hold'em.

The One Drop Foundation is dedicated to providing clean water to those in need and over the course of the partnership with the WSOP they have raised more than $25 million dollars.

There were a total of 5,702 entries for this event, generating a prize pool of $5,074,891. The 319 survivors will return for Day 3 at 12 noon local time. Play will continue for another 10 levels of 60-minutes each before bagging up for the night. The blinds will begin at 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante. Those who find a bag today will return on Tuesday, July 12, at noon for Day 4 when they will play down to the final five players, or close to it.

Bagging up the lead last night was Jorge Walker (3,665,000), but it’s Andrew Moreno (2,470,000) in second, who has been on an absolute tear in the past year.

Moreno, the brother of popular poker vlogger Johnnie “Vibes” Moreno, just took home a second-place finish at the Wynn $3,500 NL Championships two weeks ago for nearly half a million dollars. He also won the $10,000 at the Wynn last June for another $1,460,000. He has other recent wins on his tournament resume as well and will be a big name to watch on Day 3.

Ryan Riess (2,110,000), the 2013 Main Event champ, also finds himself in the top ten. Another Main Event champ, Chris Moneymaker (1,550,000) is also still alive, as is Brazillian pro and two-time bracelet winner Joao Simao (2,075,000).

Follow all the action right here as the PokerNews will see this through to a winner, as well as our continuing coverage of the 2022 WSOP from Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas.
