Funds were allocated to programs designed to provide permanent safe water to over 340,000 people.[2] Poker{{main|Big One for One Drop}}In 2011, Laliberté teamed with Caesars Entertainment, owner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), to launch a major poker tournament to benefit the organization. The One Drop tournament would be held as a competition within the larger WSOP series of tournaments held each summer in Las Vegas. The first tournament, known as The Big One for One Drop, was held as part of the 2012 WSOP, and had a record per person buy-in of US$1 million.[3] The WSOP waived its normal 10% rake of the entry fees, and $111,111 of each buy-in went to the Foundation.[3] The 48 seats available in the event were filled, creating a poker record first prize of $18.3 million[4] and a donation to One Drop of $5.33 million. Caesars Interactive Entertainment CEO Mitch Garber, ineligible to play, donated $111,111 while One Drop founder Laliberté donated his entire fifth-place winnings of $1.83 million, for a total donation of $7.28 million from this single tournament game.[4][5] As part of the initial 2012 event, Caesars announced that One Drop has become an official charity of the WSOP, and it encouraged all players who cashed during any tournament at the 2012 WSOP to donate 1% of their winnings to One Drop.[6] Labelled the "All in for One Drop", the 2013 campaign saw 458 players contribute $0.25 million of their winnings from tournaments held during the 2013 WSOP.[7] References1. ^Annual Report 2009, ONE DROP 2. ^Annual Report 2012, ONE DROP 3. ^1 {{cite press release|url=http://www.wsop.com/news/2011/Jun/3337/WSOP-ANNOUNCES-1-MILLION-BUY-IN-TOURNAMENT-IN-CONJUNCTION-WITH-ONE-DROP.html |title=WSOP Announces $1 Million Buy-In Tournament in Conjunction with One Drop |publisher=World Series of Poker |date=June 2, 2011 |accessdate=April 12, 2012}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.wsop.com/news/2012/Jun/3911/THE-BIGGEST-ONE---WORLDS-MOST-SPECTACULAR-POKER-EXTRAVAGANZA-STARTS-SUNDAY.html |title=The Biggest One—World's Most Spectacular Poker Extravaganza Starts Sunday |first=Nolan |last=Dalla |publisher=World Series of Poker |date=June 30, 2012 |accessdate=July 3, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wsop.com/news/2012/Jul/3926/ANTONIO-ESFANDIARI-PULLS-OFF-AMAZING-TRICK-BY-WINNING-ONE-DROP.html |title=Antonio Esfandiari Pulls Off Amazing Trick by Winning One Drop |first=Nolan |last=Dalla |publisher=WSOP.com |date=July 3, 2012 |accessdate=July 4, 2012}} 6. ^{{cite press release|url=http://www.wsop.com/news/2012/May/3791/ONE-DROP-DESIGNATED-AS-AN-OFFICIAL-CHARITY-OF-WSOP.html |title=One Drop Designated as an Official Charity of WSOP |publisher=World Series of Poker |date=May 22, 2012 |accessdate=May 25, 2012}} 7. ^{{cite press release |url=http://www.wsop.com/news/2014/Jul/4925/BIG-ONE-FOR-ONE-DROP-RAISES-OVER-46-MILLION-FOR-CHARITY.html |title=BIG ONE FOR ONE DROP RAISES OVER $4.6 MILLION FOR CHARITY |publisher=Caesers Interactive Entertainment |date=2014-07-01 |accessdate=2014-09-01}} External links
