This year’s Big One for ONE DROP drew 27 entries, as already mentioned. The event was played over three days and the final one took place yesterday at the host casino, starting off with 6 contenders for the title. Bonomo led the final six players with a massive chip lead. He was followed by German poker superstar Fedor Holz. David Einhorn Bubbles the Big One for One Drop.
