    No Ivey yet.

    My pick is Dan Shak. Earlier this year, he finished in the LAPC High Roller and PCA Super High Roller for nearly $1 million combined. He won the Aussie Millions $100K Challenge for $1.1M in 2010 after taking fourth in the same event the year before. He's pretty good at High Roller events like the One Drop.

    Why'd they cap it? I'm thinkin Ivey, can't imagine him skipping it and it's enough $ and prestige to motivate him IMO.

    I'm guessing they capped it at a number they knew/hoped they could get so people would pre register and be committed instead of waiting for people to walk up with a Million dollars the day of the tourney. Its gonna take the late register option out. so they get players to commit and give the players a sense of urgency. Without the cap. They would probably be sitting at 15 players pre registered right now hoping for a turnout. While players talked about weather or not the were gonna show. The cap locks it in. I think its brilliant.

    My Guess Boosted J or Andy Beal wins

    I saw that they would not raise the cap, but that was said as they were trying to get people to pre register. With a tourney of this magnitude i doubt they will change anything with 40 million dollars already committed. Don't see how you can change it without giving players who registered under past pretenses a chance to pull out. So i doubt it

    Pretty sure I read that some participants have chose to remain anonymous until Day 1 of the tourny. From what I have seen, Phil is not a big fan of his celebrity status anyway and would rather not deal with all the questions. Not to say I know whether he is playing or not because I have no idea, but I wouldn't rule it out until the tourny starts. Just my 2 cents.

    Do you think they would be willing to turn away players, the tournament is for charity. Each player turned away is $111,111 less that the one drop foundation receives.

    Oh and Trickett all day.

    Negreanu, he'll destroy the non pro's at the tables and that'll put him in an amazing position to take it all.

    I would have to go with Mercier but I hope John Morgan wins. He's a good guy and I've played with him a lot locally. Canterbury Park in the twin cities is having a 100k guarantee tourney in October and the buy in is only $130 and they are capping it at 750 people, so there is a 25k overlay no matter what. John said if he cashes in the One Drop tourney he is donating 10% of his cash to the prize pool of this tourney, potentially making it a $1.6 million prize pool in a $130 tourney. Even if he min cashes for 2 mil it would be a 300k prize pool.

    Go John Morgan!!
