Zum ersten Starttag des $1.111 Little One for One Drop traten 947 Spieler an und spülten damit schon einmal über $100.000 in die Kassen der Wohltätigkeitsorganisation One Drop.
Mit von der Partie waren auch etliche deutschsprachige Spieler wie Rainer Kempe, Martin Finger oder Sebastian Pauli, doch am besten schlug sich aus den DACH-Reihen Robin Hegele.
Er tütete 101.200 Chips ein und befindet sich damit im vordersten Verfolgerfeld des Chipleaders John Utley.
Einen starken Auftakt erwischten auch Kenny Hallaert, Phil Laak und Calvin Anderson, die sich zwischen Utley und Hegele platzieren konnten.
Weiter geht es bei diesem Turnier in der kommenden Nacht mit Tag 1b.
