A million dollar bad beat for Connor Drinan as Cary Katz hits a flush on the river in this AA vs AA poker hand in the Big One for One Drop 2014 charity tournament.
This is probably the worst poker bad beat ever as the players have invested a million dollars to play the popular World Series of Poker event which consist mostly of businessmen and poker pros.
Four USA players, two Germans, two UK and a Canadian will be battling it out for the 2014 WSOP Big One for One Drop title and more than $15 million for first place.
Notable Poker Pro Eliminations on Day 2 include: Antonio Esfandiari (10th), Phil Ivey (14th) and Sam Trickett (15th).
The WSOP Big One for One Drop Final Table consists of Tobias Reinkemeier, Rick Salomon, Daniel Colman, Daniel Negreanu, Cary Katz, Tom Hall, Christoph Vogelsang, Scott Seiver and Paul Newey.
Poker pros have realized that this life-changing million dollar buy-in event could boost their career earnings as it did for Antonio Esfandiari in the 2012 Big One for One Drop.
Day 1 saw the eliminations of 11 players who will not get any returns on their million dollar investment into the poker tournament most notably: Vanessa Selbst, Brian Rast and Jason Mercier.
The great thing about this event is that it is a charity tournament with 11% of the buy-ins being donated to Guy Laliberté’s One Drop Organization.
The current top 5 positions include: chip leader Sam Trickett, Tom Hall, Phil Ivey, Daniel Colman and title defender Antonio Esfandiari.

Half of the seats are already confirmed as the event is limited to the first 56 players cap limit. This will be the second time the event has featured on the World Series of Poker schedule with the first taking place in 2012.
Antonio Esfandiari won the 2012 WSOP Big One for One Drop winning more than $18 million which instantly positioned him in first place on the Poker All Time Money List.
The 2014 WSOP Main Event features $10 Million for first place prize adding great value to the most popular live poker tournament in history.
