The Weekly PokerNews Strategy Quiz: The Big One for One Drop Edition

You've probably heard, there's kind of a big poker tournament going on this weekend.

The newest edition of The Big One for One Drop began yesterday in Monte Carlo, and this Big One is the biggest one yet. While the previous two editions of the tournament featured $1 million buy-ins, the price tag this time around is €1 million (currently equivalent to just under $1.1 million USD). In other words, it's the largest buy-in ever for a poker tournament.

In 2012, Antonio Esfandiari topped a 48-player field to earn $18,346,673 — the biggest prize in tournament poker history.
