The Big One for One Drop has found great success in mainstream media, the videos of the brutal elimination of Connor Drinan and Scott Seiver’s bluff at the final table both quickly became huge hits on the internet, but nothing can top the reaction media outlets and poker enthusiasts had regarding Daniel Colman’s reaction to winning $15 million.
The above picture sums up the story very well: Daniel Negreanu surrounded by reporters and giving interviews cheerfully, despite finishing second (and we all know how hungry Kid Poker is for some fresh WSOP jewelry) and Daniel Colman standing behind the huge pile of money he won, not even smiling.
Colman’s decision to not give an interview, because he believes "poker is a very dark game" was very controversial and highly debated in both poker and mainstream media, but it wasn’t until ESPN aired the final episodes of the One Drop that people could actually see his reaction on video. (You can watch Colman’s reaction and the two amazing hands by clicking on the pictures below.)
He clearly didn’t want any of the attention, but how he maintained such a poker face after winning $15 million and a prestigious title still baffles the audiences.
In another hand at the One Drop Connor Drinan has suffered most likely the worst bad beat in the history of tournament poker.
After the hand Drinan, instead of getting blackout drunk like most players would, entered a $1,500 WSOP event and managed to cash, which shows an incredible mental strength.
And here is probably the most debated hand of the 2014 World Series of Poker, where Scott Seiver manages to bluff Tobias Reinkemeier off aces at the One Drop final table.
