A total of 41 players have now paid their deposits and with $111,111 of each buy-in going to charity this event will generate more than $4.5 million for the One Drop humanitarian organization.
And with a cap of 56 players that's expected to be maxed out, those numbers are only going to get bigger in the next two weeks.
The 11 new players committed to playing represent the interesting mix of poker pros and businessmen fans have come to expect from this event:
Daniel “Jungleman12” Cates Daniel Colman Tom Hall Isaac Haxton John Morgan Greg Merson Daniel Negreanu Doug Polk Scott Seiver Talal Shakerchi Anonymous Businessman
Pros to Take On Businessmen for Poker's Biggest Prize, Again
In 2012 Antonio Esfandiari won the first-ever $1 million Big One for One Drop, and succeeded in keeping more than $18 million in the poker community.
This year, with a first-place prize set to be well over $20 million, the businessmen have another chance to take a vast sum out of the pros' pockets.
Of the 11 new entrants, five did not play the first Big One for One Drop.
Doug Polk, Scott Seiver, Daniel Colman, Tom Hall and the anonymous businessman are all taking their first shot at the world's most expensive poker event.
The World Series of Poker won't release the anonymous businessman's name but they did drop a few hints.
The player is known in the high-stakes games in Macau, and he has never played poker at the World Series of Poker.
