WSOP One Drop: Salomon leads day 1; five unhappy faces leave early

A round-up of all the Day 1 action from the $1m buy-in Big One for One Drop live and direct from the World Series of Poker including a chip lead for Rick Salomon and five people going to bed with a headache.

After the Little One for One Drop raised $525,000 for the One Drop Foundation, it was time for Big Brother to chip in.

After a disastrous move to Monte Carlo in 2016, the $1m buy-in Big One for One Drop returned to its spiritual home of Las Vegas determined to save lives en masse all over again.

Each player donated $80,000 to the Foundation, and with 24-players competing in the first 10-Levels of Day 1, poker has safely secured $1,920,000 for people who are struggling to gain access to clean water. Let’s hope we double that by the end of Day 2.
