The Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza will be held at the Casino de Monte-Carlo in Monaco from October 13-17, 2016, headlined by The Big One for One Drop Invitational, a €1,000,000 buy-in, three-day, by-invitation-only tournament for businessmen, philanthropic, and celebrity recreational players.

In an exclusive interview with PokerNews, businessman, poker enthusiast, Cirque du Soleil and One Drop founder Guy Laliberté said professional poker players will be welcome at the event, just not to play.
