Just over six hours ago, the most exclusive event in the history of poker started off with a bang, or more specifically a Cirque du Soleil show with none other than Albert II, Prince of Monaco, in attendance: The 2016 Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza.
From there, this James Bond Monte-Carlo reenactment with the biggest-ever buy-in and the ability to reshape poker's all-time money list was just a mystery.
No player list was released, but even as players made their way in, they had the opportunity to reenter the entire first day of play.
