The 2018 World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop was an absolute blast to watch, so mortals like you and I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to play in. There were great hands throughout, showing off the skills of players at the peak of their powers, bringing their A-Game to the big one – the one they all wanted to win.

Only one person could win it, of course, and in this hand in particular, the gravity of the result the importance of the consequences of winning and losing the hand were there for all to see.

Fedor Holz took on not only Rick Salomon but high roller regular Byron Kaverman too in the hand.

As a backdrop to this hand, the money bubble had already burst and with five players remaining, the next person who would bust would collect $2 million. Just in case you were about to be heartbroken, the player who would bust in 4th place would earn $2.84 million. Neither man who would bust would be going home on the Greyhound sobbing into a can of cheap cider.
