Hand #2: Elton Tsang Takes the Chip Lead

Level 16 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Hand #2: This hand featured the first flop, the first multi-way pot and the first big pot of the final table all rolled into one. Andrew Pantling raised to 850,000 from under-the-gun+1 and picked up calls from Elton Tsang (button), Cary Katz (small blind) and Brandon Steven (big blind).

A {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop hit the felt, Pantling continued for 1,700,000 and Steven was the only player who folded. Pantling bet a further 3,500,000 on the {Q-Spades} turn but both he and Katz folded when Tsang raised to 9,000,000 total. With that pot Tsang has taken the chip lead.

In a little under 2 hours time, the final day of the 2016 Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza �1,000,000 buy-in Big One For One Drop kicks off.

The prize pool of a whopping �24,888,892 is still to be divided, but just 6 players will take part in that. That means 2 unfortunate souls will go home empty-handed and a big bubble awaits when the players return at noon.

Leading the pack of recreational poker players is former poker pro and Matchbook CEO Andrew Pantling with almost 32 million in chips. The shortest stack still in it is Haralabos Voulgaris who'll bring 13 big blinds when play resumes.

Here's how the players rack up with a single minute left in level 150,000/300,000 before play moves to limits 200,000/400,000 with a 50,000-ante.

The first place prize is �11,111,111 ($12,189,918), the third biggest first-place prize in the history of poker after the 2012 Big One for One Drop (Antonio Esfandiari won $18,346,673) and 2014 Big One for One Drop (Dan Colman won $15,306,668). Min cashing this event is worth �1.5 million. Noteworthy is that chip leader Andrew Pantling needs to place 4th or better to make a profit, he's the sole player left in that reentered the event and thus is in for �2,000,000.
