Since a few months, fans of high stakes poker asked questions about the poker tournament with the greatest buy-in ever organized in the world: the Big One for One Drop, an event announced in June 2011. Characterized by a buy-in of $ 1 million, this No Limit Hold'em tournament created by Guy Laliberté will have as first mission to fund the One Drop NGO which works for access to drinking water for all. To this end, $ 111,111 from the buy-in of each player will go to One Drop. As part of the official program of the WSOP, the Big One will be held at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from July 1 to 3, 2012 during the 43rd WSOP to be held in Las Vegas. The tournament will run for three days and the winner will win a WSOP bracelet in platinum created especially for the occasion and $ 9 million as part of the prize pool of $ 20 million.
The Big One for One Drop is an event limited to a maximum of 48 players and at the present time, 22 places are already taken.
