EVENT #55 |
1M BIG ONE FOR ONE DROP |
48 ENTRIES | 42.66M PRIZEPOOL
It was magic, and so very fitting that the Magician himself, Antonio Esfandiari, won the Big One for One Drop, in what will go down as the biggest and most prestigious tournament in poker history.
Esfandiari (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 11th) defeated young UK mega cash game/high buy-in master Sam Trickett (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-217th) heads-up. You may shocked to hear that this is the first time that Trickett has posted a PTPR-qualifying result in 2012 ... that's because Trickett has been busy taking on all comers in the biggest cash games in the world in Macau.
With his fourth place finish, Phil Hellmuth does exactly what he did last year at this time, that is enter the Top 10 for the season. Phil now stands in 8th position on the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Leaderboard - powered by PTPRpoker.
