Welcome to WSOPE Event #8: €1,111 Little One for One Drop
Today marks the first of two starting days for the Little One for One Drop, which is a new event at the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe. The event, which supports Guy Laliberte's One Drop foundation, has been a staple at the WSOP over the past years. Here in Rozvadov, €50 of each player's entrance fee will be donated to the charity fund. You can read up on the One Drop foundation and how to get involved by clicking here.
Plenty of notables have already traveled to King's Casino in "RozVegas" to contest for WSOPE glory, including Phil Hellmuth, John Racener, Felipe Ramos, Mike Leah, Kristen Bicknell, Eli Elezra and Jeff Lisandro. The WSOP Player of the Year race is also heating up, with Chris Ferguson currently holding the top spot. You can read more about this fiercely contested race here.
Last Summer, the Little One for One Drop was the last event scheduled at the 2017 World Series of Poker, with Adrian Moreno grabbing the coveted bracelet and adding a whopping $528,316 to his bankroll. Besides the Little One, it's big brother The High Roller for One Drop, with a buy-in of €111,111, will also be on the WSOPE schedule and will be played later this week.
