Da muss selbst der ein oder andere Pokerprofi kratzen, dass er dieses Buy-In zusammen bekommt. Wer beim „The Big One for One Drop“ mitspielen möchte muss eine Million Dollar Buy-In bezahlen. Aber dies ist nicht die einzige Neuerung bei der World Series of Poker 2012. Insgesamt wird es mehr Pokerturniere und somit auch mehr Bracelets geben.
Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Tom Dwan und natürlich Gründer der „One Drop“ Wohltätigkeitsorganisation Guy Laliberté sind bereits sicher dabeim Mit ihnen noch 18 andere Pokerspieler. Vermutlich sind dabei solche Namen wie Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Jason Mercier, die Pokerlegende Doyle Brunson und weitere Pokerprofis sowie reiche Geschäftsmänner.
Sollten 29 Spieler mitmachen, wozu nur noch sieben fehlen, dann wird der erste Platz das höchste je bei einem Pokerturnier ausbezahlte Preisgeld in der Geschichte des Pokerns bekommen. Bisher war Jamie Gold der Rekordhalter mit 12 Millionen beim Main Event der World Series of Poker 2012.
Doch dies ist nicht alles. Insgesamt werden 61 Bracelets bei der diesjährigen WSOP ausgespielt. Mehr als je zuvor. Und die Verantwortlichen erwarten dieses Jahr auch noch mehr Pokerspieler bei den Turnieren. Sicherheitshalber wurde der Turnierbereich um 100 Pokertische erweitert. Wir dürfen gespannt sein ob sich diese Voraussage bewahrheiten wird.
Auch werden in diesem Jahr die November Nine abgeschafft. Darauf hatten viele Pokerfans gehofft. Jedoch wird trotzdem nicht durchgängig gespielt. Aufgrund der Präsidentschaftswahlen im November 2012 werden die November Nine in diesem Jahr bereits im Oktober ausgespielt.
