Massive Turnout for Day 1B and 1C of the World Poker Tour EveryOne for One Drop
The World Poker Tour (WPT) EveryOne for One Drop Tournament is seeing incredible participation the following days after it kicked off. The second starting flight, Day 1B, amassed an impressive 440 entries, with 137 players making it through to Day 2. The chip leader for the day was Joey LeBrun, who had an exhilarating end to the day, doubling up in the penultimate hand of the night against Martin Stausholm to bag a staggering 614,000 in chips, equivalent to 307 big blinds.
Among the other notable survivors are Noah Schwartz with 257,000 chips, Aleksejs Ponakovs bagged 235,000 chips, and FaZe Clan pro gamer and Twitch streamer Nate Hill with a 192,500 chip stack. In addition to his gaming prowess, Hill is proving his merit at the poker table, making it through to Day 2 of the $10,500 World Poker Tour event after cashing in his first ever $10,000 2023 WSOP Main Event.
