High Roller One Drop

King��s Casino announced its first European �111,111 One Drop High Roller to kick off at the World Series of Poker Europe in November, but not before noting that 50 players had already paid the �11,000 deposit to play.

��These kind of numbers are something that is surely unprecedented in an event of this kind this far away from it starting,�� said Leon Tsoukernik, owner of King��s Casino. ��With a cap of 111 players, we nearly have half the field with well over six months to go!��

The One Drop, the official charity partner for WSOP, starts Nov. 3 and will guarantee �10,000,000 in prize pool winnings for this flagship event and �500,000 for the Little One for One Drop Nov. 1-2.

��It was this news of such strong pre-registration that prompted King��s to add the �10,000,000 guarantee,�� Tsoukernik said. ��My advice now is simple: Register and pay your deposit as soon as possible to avoid missing out on a seat!��

Of those on the list for the high roller are notables Martin Kabrhel, Tony G, Tsoukernik, Antonio Esfandiari, Paul Newey, Fedor Holz, Patrik Antonius, Bertrand ��ElkY�� Grospellier, Daniel ��Jungleman�� Cates, Phil Ivey, Pierre Neuville, Rainer Kempe, Phil Hellmuth, Sergio Aido, Nick Petrangelo, Talal Shakerchi, Boris Becker, Charlie Carrel and Adrian Mateos.

Hellmuth lost too much money playing poker in Vegas once and handed Guy Laliberte some cash for One Drop. Laliberte is the creator of the One Drop and founder of Cirque du Soleil who last year made the Big One for One Drop Invitational for recreational players only.

��Now, the poker world is ��all in�� for One Drop! I��ve heard so much about Leon and King��s Casino and look forward to checking it out in person,�� he said. ��I will be going for the WSOP Circuit and then on to WSOP Europe and naturally I will be playing both the High Roller and the Little One for such a brilliant cause and the bracelets up for grabs.��

One Drop has raised over $18,500,000 since 2012 to fund water access projects worldwide. Hoping to hit the $20,000,000 milestone this year, tournament organizers will continue to contribute to water access, sanitation and hygiene causes. Already, the initiatives have positively affected nearly 200,000 people in India, West Africa and Latin America, according to a joint release from WSOP and King's Casino.

King��s Casino has a multi-year partnership with the WSOP, with two tournaments in Rozvadov planned and more in the series planned.
