Last month, Guy Laliberté announced the Big One for One Drop was coming back with a whopping €1,000,000 buy-in as part of a five-day high-stakes cash game and tournament festival to be held October 13-17 at the Casino de Monte Carlo.
However, the announcement of the massive rake-free tournament that'll have each player donating €111,111 to One Drop — a charity dedicated to bringing fresh water to those in need of it — came with a hitch. Unlike in the past when the event was open to all willing to drop a million on it, this year's tournament is by invitation only.
