"Now, the time is now
We can still turn it around
Raise your voice like a weapon
Til' they fall to the ground
Light, let there be light
Without a shadow of doubt
We will fight tooth and nail until
Salvation is found"
- Viking Death Match, Billy Talent (2012 / Roadrunner)
It simply doesn't get any better than this. I am sitting about 10 feet away from 18 million dollars and the ESPN Mothership Stage where one of our final 8 participants in the biggest and most prestigious tournament in poker history, "The Big One for One Drop".
A dream final table awaits as Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte (the man who actually created this unique 1M buy-in event), Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, Phill Hellmuth, Brian Rast and co. are here to put on a show!
And what a show we will have later today. Starting with the player introductions, highlighted by the Cirque du Soleil drummers, and then, cards will be in the air in what will be a life-changing moment to the one who wins this event.
