Big buy in poker tournaments are all the buzz, but a €1 million to enter unlimited re-entry tournament still stands tall. Those are the stakes of the Big One for One Drop Invitational poker tournament kicking off in Monte Carlo Friday afternoon.
This is the third running of the Big One for One Drop. The first two events, held as part of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in 2012 and 2014, were the two biggest buy in events in the history of poker. Antonio Esfandiari took over $18 million for first in 2012 and Dan Colman took more than $10 million home (plus the crown) in 2014.
