WSOP Round-Up: WSOPE Main Event underway, One Drop, Hall of Fame
We have all the latest from the World Series of Poker Europe, plus find out about the players inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame and the return of One Drop next year.
Hall of Fame inductees announced
Former Main Event champions Tom McEvoy and Scotty Nguyen will be the 45th and 46th individuals inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
They will be officially inducted at the Rio on Sunday November 3, the day before the WSOP Main Event final table resumes.
They beat off stiff competition this year from players such as Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Carlos Mortensen and Huck Seed.
“Thank you so much, this is wonderful news,” said Nguyen. “You work so hard, you put so much time in that you want and hope it will be recognized. This is something my grandkids will talk about. It’s awesome, baby, thank you.”
$1 million buy-in One Drop to return
The WSOP has also announced that the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop will return next year, between June 29 and July 1. The televised final table will take place at Caesars Palace.
After it reached the 45 player cap last year, next year one more table will be added, meaning up to 56 players can enter.
Guy Laliberté was the first player to confirm his attendance.
Once again there will be no rake in this tournament, but $111,111 will be taken out of each buy-in and donated to the One Drop charity.
Last year Antonio Esfandiari made history when he won the first One Drop for $18,346,673.
