Event #68 of the 2021 WSOP is the $1,111 LITTLE ONE FOR ONE DROP No-Limit Hold’em. Players had the option to buy into the event for $1,000 and start with 20,000 in chips, or buy in for the same amount and make a $111 donation to the One Drop Foundation, and start the tourney with 40,000 in chips. This tournament was scheduled to have three opening days from November 8 to 10.
The 2021 WSOP Event #68: LITTLE ONE FOR ONE DROP No-Limit Hold’em has been held to benefit charity by the WSOP each year since 2013. Donations come from players, not from the World Series of Poker, which subtracts its 10% rake from the prize pool. With 3,797 players buying in, that prize pool reached $3,417,300.
Scott Ball took home the bracelet and a first-place cash prize of $396,445
“I’ve really had my sights set on the No-Limit Player of The Year,” Ball said after his win. “I think it’s really hard for any No-Limit player to just play No-Limit events and no mixed events like I do, to try and get as many points as someone in the other events. […] So I’m really glad the WSOP has separated those two things, and I’m pretty sure this will put me into the lead for No-Limit player of the year, and I would really like to hold on to that. It’s a legacy thing.”
Michael Shanahan won $245,068 for second place.
