Big Deal for One Drop Adds Esfandiari and Laliberté
Another big name, Antonio Esfandiari, confirmed for the Big Deal for One Drop charity tournament, which will take place at the Allē Lounge on 66Resorts World Las Vegas, USA, on Friday, November 21.
Over the next four days, Esfandiari will join the hosts of the event, Phil Helmut and Jennifer Tilly, during the No Gamble and No Future livestreams.
From the $5,300 Big Deal for One Drop entry fee, $4,000 will be added to the prize pool, and $1,000 will be donated to Guy Laliberté’s One Drop Foundation, a charitable organization for safe water initiatives. During the event, rebuys and add-ons will also be available. An option open for everyone.
Guy Laliberté is also confirmed to play alongside poker legends like David Coulthard, America’s rising star Courtney Crone, and Derek Adamian, the previous year’s champion.
The charity event will take place during the Las Vegas Formula 1 race weekend. However, no one has to worry about overlapping, as the games will wrap up before the late afternoon action on the racetrack.
