Two of the six finalists were going to walk away with nothing to show for as there were only four prizes up for grabs. Since the event featured only 17 entries, it meant that not everyone making the final table today were safe. It was exciting few days of action headlined by some of the best in the industries, as is fitting for an event of this stature. This was the first time that the Big One for One Drop took place under the WPT flag, and poker fans across the globe were looking forward to its return. In the end, it was the Belarusian high-roller Mikita Badziakouski taking the first place worth $7.1 million to bring his life-time earnings to over $50 million – a significant landmark by anyone’s standards. Although the small number of entries (17) left something to be desired, it was still a great return of the epic $1,000,000 tournament that saw some of the biggest names in poker turn up to play. The WPT Big One for One Drop event is now in the books as well.
