The first of three opening flights of the $1,111 Little One for One Drop drew 490 entries with 143 survivors and with unlimited re-entries allowed not only through the starting flights but also during the first two levels on Day 2, the field can be expected to rise. In 2019 there was a total of 6,246 entries with the winner James Anderson taking home $690,686.

Many charity initiatives that have been established around the globe have been adopted by the gaming industry, and the One Drop Foundation has become one of the most notable ones.

Mukul Pahuja is the chip leader after Day 1a with 518,300 in chips and with over $5.5 million in live earnings, he will be a player to watch throughout the tournament. He was followed by Fernando Ribeiro (428,000), Poorya Nazari (377,500), Steve Stolzenfeld (376,200), and Jorge Briones (319,500) to round off the top five of the players captured at the end of the night.
