在43年的WSOP历史上，出现过不少有历史意义的时刻。比如连续获得WSOP赛事冠军得主和在最大舞台上进行的最大买入金锦标赛等。上周日，另一场德州扑克锦标赛跟其他重大时刻一样，被记录进WSOP的扑克历史。

         “The Big One For One Drop”这场德州扑克历史上最大型的德州扑克锦标赛于上周日1:11PM（太平洋时间）正式开始。共有48名德州扑克选手支付100万美元，参加了这次由Cirque du Soleil创始人/企业家/扑克玩家 Guy Laliberte主办的慈善赛。这场WSOP官方慈善组织从每份买入金收取111,111美元，筹集了超过550万美元的基金。

         许多富商也参加了这场德州扑克盛世。前世界冠军Bobby Baldwin 和Laliberte连同Frederic Banjout (CEO, Eden Shoes), David Einhorn (避险基金经理), Kuala Lumpur的 Richard Yong, Phil Ruffin (Treasure Island的所有人)和企业家Chamath Palihapitiya。德州扑克界的参赛代表包括Michael Mizrachi, Ben Lamb，Jonathan Duhamel, Daniel Negreanu和Phil Ivey等。

        在这场德州扑克比赛中，没有一张桌子的比拼是处于弱势的，因为除了职业的德州扑克选手强烈的胜负欲望外，富商们也不会希望他们的100万美元打水漂。现在我们知道的是，Mizrachi必须要面对 Mike Sexton，Negreanu和Palihapitiya在同张桌子上。Dan Shak, Phil Galfond, Roland De Wolfe, Eugene Katchalov和 Tom “durrrr” Dwan会在同一张桌子上展开战斗。

        只有决赛桌9人可以获得奖金，以下是奖金分配表:

 1st – $18,346,673

2nd – $10,112,001

3rd – $4,352,000
