Lights, Camera, Action Lon McEachern (left) and Norman Chad (center) listen in as Olivier Busquet (right) talks about the upcoming Big One for One Drop final table. Originally Lon and Norm were to be joined by Antonio Esfandiari in the booth. However, Esfandiari is chip leader at the Big One final table, so Busquet stepped in. 18 Million Reasons to Win The Big One for One Drop bracelet and the $18 million first place prize await the winner of today's final table. The Big One Final Table The final table players in the Big One for One Drop (from left to right): Antonio Esfandiari, Brian Rast, Bobby Baldwin, David Einhorn, Guy Laliberté, Sam Trickett, Richard Yong and Phil Hellmuth. Clowning Around Cirque du Soleil founder and the man behind the Big One for One Drop, Guy Laliberté, finds a spot to have a little fun at the table. Twitter is All Aflutter While the Big One for One Drop unfolds just across the Amazon Room, the internet is blowing up for another reason. Social media giant Twitter has one of its own as one of the chip leaders in the $1,000 No-Limit event. Ian Chan is at the top of the counts with around 50 of the original 3,221 entrants still alive. Worst Case Scenerio Jason Mercier can't believe his luck as Antonio Esfandiari flips up pocket aces in a seven-bet pot before the flop. Mercier tables pocket kings and is unable to improve, eliminating him from the Big One for One Drop. Preparing the One Drop Final Table While the final 16 players in the Big One for One Drop fight it out for the eight spots at the televised final table, the production crew prepares the set. The Big Stack in the Big One The chip stack of the Big One for One Drop chip leader, Brian Rast. Rast Leads the Field With only 21 players remaining in the Big One for One Drop, Brian Rast is leading the field with over 15 million in chips. Bill Stays Alive Guy Laliberté (right) looks on as Bill Perkins (left) watches the river card come out on his all-in. Perkins would double through Antonio Esfandiari to stay alive. There are 1400 entries in the photo blog.
