One Drop, the World Series of Poker event with the highest Buy-in came to an end. Justin Bonomo won $10 million and a bracelet. 27 players took the part in this $1 million buy-in tournament, which is also the last tournament of the Series. The prize pool was $24 million and more than $2 million went to One Drop Foundation.

This is Justin Bonomo’s best score so far, and with this title, he became 1st on the All Time Money” list with tournament earnings of almost $43 million. He took the top from Daniel Negreanu who has $39.6 million in lifetime tournament earnings. If you ever considered a Business setup in Belize you may have come to the conclusion that it is a perfect way to gain privacy and anonymity while doing business online. Same as many others in your situation have considered before.

The runner-up finisher was partypoker’s ambassador Fedor Holz who won $6 million. Here you can see players who reached the ITM :

A lot of noise came up after the final hand of WSOP  Main Event and the subject is slow-roll! The runner-up finisher, Tony Miles, accused the actual champion, John Cynn for unfair play, which caused the reaction of many people from the poker world.

What do you think? Was this a slow-roll in the final hand?

Cynn opened with KClub SuitJClub Suit, Miles 3bet him with QClub Suit8Heart Suit. The flop came: KHeart SuitKDiamond Suit5Heart Suit. Miles made a continuation bet and Cynn just called. The turn brought  8Diamond Suit and Miles pushed all-in. After thinking for a while Joh Cynn made a call. When Miles saw what Cyn had, he was shocked why he took so long for this, according to him, easy call. However, Cynn immediately apologized and told Miles that he didn’t have an intention to slow-roll him, he just wanted to think thru.

However, Tony Miles didn’t take long to regret his accusations and apologize to John Cynn, who he considers as a very good person and friend.

“We were playing for millions of dollars and John had every right to take his time and talk through his decision. My immediate reaction of angst and frustration was unwarranted and I take full responsibility for what I said.”, Miles announced.
