Big One For One Drop: 8 survivors at the final table
The $ 1 million buy-in poker tournament reached its final table that will bring together four professional players and four businessmen. There were 48 participants at the first day but only 9 of them are in the ITM and 8 qualified for the final table at which the winner will walk away with $ 18,346,673. The last title contenders from the Big One Drop One of the WSOP are Guy Laliberté, Brian Rast, Antonio Esfandiari, Bobby Baldwin, David Einhorn, Richard Yong, Sam Trickett and Phil Hellmuth. Esfandiari is the chipleader with 39,925,000 chips while Bobby Baldwin is the shortstack with 7,150,000 chips. The bubble boy of the tournament is Ilya Bulychev who was eliminated in the 10th place, a place In The Money. For his elimination at the 9th place, Mike Sexton pocketed $ 1,109,333 which means a gain of $ 109,333 by removing the buy-in of $ 1M.
Phil Hellmuth who has 12 bracelets and $ 13,473,969 of winning in poker ranks first in the "all-time Bracelet Winner List" and 5th place in tournament winnings is the best player of the final table. Sam Trickett is probably the second best player in the final. Specialist of High Roller, the British amassed $ 6,359,096 in tournament winnings, which earned him his second place at the "All Time Money List." But the lesser known players in live poker as these four businessmen can also create a surprise.
