The World Series of Poker crowns a handful of millionaires every summer, and with the $111,111 High Roller for One Drop falling so early in the 2017 schedule, one of the biggest winners of the entire WSOP stood to be crowned in the very first week of action.
Doug Polk outlasted a field of 130 players to claim that prize, a cool $3,686,865, along with his third career WSOP gold bracelet. Once the tournament got down to heads-up play, Polk defeated Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, who entered the final table with a considerable chip lead, for the title and the fourth-largest non-main event or $1 million buy-in event prize in WSOP history.
