$111,111 High Roller for One Drop Action Gets Underway at 3 p.m.!
The biggest event of the 2017 World Series of Poker is about to get underway. At 3 p.m. this afternoon, the $111,111 High Roller for One Drop kicks off and the crème de la crème of the poker world will be in attendance to battle for the ultimate WSOP glory.
The event was initially scheduled towards the end of the series, running July 7-9. With the $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl in Aria right before the start of the Series, the WSOP decided to swap the $111,111 One Drop with the $10,000 Seven Card Stud so the two biggest events of the summer lined up a bit better.
Players signing up for this event get 500,000 in chips with blinds starting at 1,000/2,000. The tournament will run 60-minute levels throughout and registration remains open till the start of play on Day 2. There are 10 levels on the schedule for Day 1 with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 6 (around 9:30).
The inaugural event back in 2012 saw 48 players compete in the $1,000,000 buy-in event. Antonio Esfandiari took down the event, winning the largest first-place prize in the history of the game. The following year, the buy-in was scaled back to $111,111 and Anthony "wwwBTHEREcom" Gregg reigned supreme. In 2014, the buy-in was back to $1,000,000 and Daniel Negreanu famously battled Daniel Colman heads up for the title. The latter won, taking down $15,306,668.
For the last two years, the buy-in has remained steady at $111,111. WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel took down the event in 2015 for a career second-best score of almost $4 million. Last year, Fedor Holz capped off an amazing poker season by crowning himself the champion for almost $5 million before announcing his "retirement."

"We Might As Well Gamble!"
Nível 1
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
As one of the first hands in the biggest tournament got underway, the audio alarm system in the Brasilia Room went off. The fire alarm, with flashing lights and an automated voice alerting everyone, didn't prompt anyone to get up and leave. In fact, everyone just played on while the alarm continued to sound.
Playing just three-handed, Ben Sulsky opened for 5,500 under the gun. Antonio Esfandiari three-bet the button to 15,000. The big blind folded and Sulsky contemplated what to do for a bit.
"If we're gonna get blown up, we might as well gamble! Right, Antonio?" Sulsky said.
Esfandiari smiled and Sulsky called.
Sulsky check-called 12,000 on 
and 23,000 on the 
turn. The river 
saw both players check and Sulsky took it down, showing 
as Esfandiari mucked.

The Defending Champ Is Here!
Nível 1
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Fedor Holz (seat 8) has just taken his seat. He's sharing a table with Antonio Esfandiari (seat 1), Scott Seiver (seat 2), Jonathan Jaffe (seat 5), and Ben Sulsky (seat 7). Holz won this event last year for $4,981,775 after having finished runner-up in the Super High Roller Bowl for $3.5 million earlier that summer.
This year, Holz didn't make it into the money in the Super High Roller Bowl but the "retiree" has already scored two other trophies this summer. He took down back-to-back $50,000 tournaments in the Aria for $330,660 and $417,600, respectively.
