Martin Jacobson Leads $111,111 One Drop High Roller Heading Into Day 326 Players Remain To Battle For The Title and The $4.8 Million First-Place Prize |
|
After two full days of play only 26 players remain in the 2013 World Series of Poker One Drop $111,111 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller. Only 24 will make the money and lock up at least a $173,723 payday, and a number of the remaining competitors voiced their desire to continuing playing until the money bubble burst, but day 2 was scheduled to end after 10 levels of play. Since the decision to play on was not unanimous play was halted and chips were bagged and tagged.
The chip leader heading into day 3 is Swedish poker pro Martin Jacobson with 3,255,000. The two-time European Poker Tour main event runner-up just barely out chipped Connor Drinan, who bagged up 3,250,000.
Other notables with huge stacks include Brandon Steven (3,140,000), Card Player columnist Matt Glantz (3,005,000), defending champion of last year’s $1 million Big One for One Drop Antonio Esfandiari (2,970,000) and recent bracelet winner Martin Finger (2,910,000).
This event drew the largest turnout ever for a six-figure-plus buy-in, with 166 unique players putting up the huge six-figure buy-in in this non-re-entry event. As a result of this record-setting turnout, the event built a $17,891,148 prizepool and a first-place prize of $4,830,619.
The event is scheduled to play down to a winner tomorrow, but with the money bubble yet to burst and 26 players returning to resume play at 1:00 PM, it’s not unlikely that this event might spill over into a fourth day.
