Winner of last year’s One Drop $1 million buy-in, Antonio Esfandiari, had already taken in close to $2 million more in the first ever One Drop High Roller event heading into Saturday morning.

As of 6 am EDT, Esfandiari was sitting with the 4th largest number of chips out of four.

He was guaranteed to take home just shy of $2 million with the grand prize set at just under $5 million.

Esfandiari is the biggest earner on the live poker scene to date, primarily a result of last year’s $18 million and some chump change win at the One Drop. He is quickly adding to that total.

For those of you who doubted Esfandiari as a force in the world of poker, there is no room for doubt any longer.
