Crazy poker hand at One Drop tourney
A bit of background: The One Drop tournament is an event where the buy-in is $1 million. A certain portion of that goes to charity, but it ends up with the final winner getting more than $15 million.
At one point, the hand was AA vs AA:
Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.
12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.
League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.
We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

Mercy.
I wonder what these guys have in their bank accounts to join a $1m tournament... that is basically close to half luck (at this level of skill).
Re: Crazy poker hand at One Drop tourney
I saw this through a stats website a couple days ago. Talk about a crazy, crazy, draw.
The guy that won that hand runs College Loan Corporation, but he won a 25k satellite tournament to get into the event, and he sold his share of the winnings after. Seems to indicate that while he is wealthy, he's not insane rich.
Re: Crazy poker hand at One Drop tourney
Saw this recently. Absolutely crazy. The kid that lost looks like he just saw a ghost and rightfully so. That one's gonna sting for a while but you've got to have a short memory.
Re: Crazy poker hand at One Drop tourney
