One Drop Update!

At the end of the first days play in the WSOP Big One for One Drop event we are left with 37 of the original 48 players in with a shot of scooping the mouth-watering prize that is $18.3 million and a WSOP Gold Bracelet.

Brian Rast hopes to win another
With the blinds about to enter the 25k/50k stage, Poker pro Brian Rast holds the chip lead with a lively 10.7 million with his nearest follower being fellow pro Phil Hellmuth Jr who is currently sitting on around 8.4 million in chips. OneDrop founder, Guy Laliberté, is going strong in 7th place on the leaderboard with 6.5 million. At the moment Laliberté is looking up at one of only 3 British players in the event, Poker professional Sam Trickett. Just below the charity's founder are Ben Lamb and Mike Sexton with only a few chips to decide between the two of them.
