The $1,111 buy-in Little One For One Drop tournament at the 2014 World Series of Poker drew a monster field of 4,496 entries, creating a total prize pool of $4,046,400. The event raised $499,056 for the One Drop organization, a charity focused on bringing clean water to places all over the world.
It took a total of five days to determine a winner, which was the Ukraine’s own Igor Dubinskyy. The 48-year-old self-proclaimed professional gambler earned his first gold bracelet, along with the $637,539 first-place prize.
“I do not have the right words to express my feelings about winning,” Dubinskyy said. “I want to thank the organizers of this event and the charity for making it all possible, plus all of my friends who are here.”
Dubinskyy’s previous best finish at the WSOP was a 192nd place showing in the 2013 main event for $42,990.
The most recognizable face at the final table was Eric Baldwin, who earned $156,352 for his fifth place finish. Other notables who made a deep run in the event included Maruice Hawkins (12th), Michael Tureniec (15th), Asi Moshe (27th) and David Paredes (53rd).
