Working perfect for me. You can try watching directly on the veetle site(click on the logo in the lower right)

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

Same on the Veetle website.

Try closing the browser and re-opening. The stream is still up for me.

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

After a bunch of refreshes, it appears to be working

watching the one-drop. Great commentary, so interesting

Wow, somebody in the One Drop folds quad 8's on the river to a shove, with only 3 to the straight flush on board. $1M buy-in sure makes some people play weird.

Is there a report on this? Only heard about it on the stream commentary.

One for one drop? What does that mean never heard it before.
Looks like it is on break until ten PST.

 

[TEG2300]

Okay so a "drop" is a million right....(picks up jaw off of floor) this is HUGE! I really want to watch as much of this live as I can.
If that is a "drop" I want to see the bucket!!!
I am also happy to say that this is my 67th post Woo hooo I am so glad that I no longer have the 7 a day rule as there have been many times where I wanted to ask a question or make another statement but ran into it.
I am glad to be growing into a member of this community.

No, a drop refers to water. One Drop is a charity. The "Big One for One Drop" is the name of a tournament with a $1 million entry fee. $111,000 of each players entry goes to the One Drop charity while the rest goes to the prize pool. The number of players was capped at 48 and sold out. The top prize is set to be over $18 million, not only the biggest ever in poker but the biggest in any sport outside of boxing. 44 players remain.
