Merson, Negreanu Added to $1 Million BIG ONE for ONE DROP Lineup; 41 Confirmed 0001

On Tuesday, the World Series of Poker announced 11 more entrants for the highly anticipated BIG ONE for ONE DROP, a $1 million buy-in tournament taking place at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from June 29 through July 1.

Thirty players had confirmed their participation when the WSOP released its updated list in May. The latest additions bring the total to 41, just 15 shy of the 56-player cap.

If the field reaches 56, the first-place prize will be more than $20 million.

Among the latest to throw their hats in the ring are poker pros Daniel Negreanu, Greg Merson, Scott Seiver, Doug Polk, Daniel Cates, Daniel Colman and Isaac Haxton. Businessmen and high roller tournament regulars Tom Hall and Talal Shakerchi have also entered the fray, as well as Winmark Corporation CEO John Morgan.

Here's a look at the full list of confirmed players thus far:
