The One on CoinPoker: TonyTheToenailcollector leads all 170 final-table hands for the $1,000,000 first prize

A $250 buy-in, a $5,000,000 guarantee and $1,000,000 promised to the winner before a card was dealt. CoinPoker’s The One was built around that last number, and it paid: TonyTheToenailcollector won the final hand with pocket sevens against zoru99’s pocket nines and collected the seven figures, the largest first prize in the room’s history. zoru99 took $500,000 for second.

The winner had led for all 170 final-table hands, by PokerHeaven’s count. He had also fired eight bullets to get there, $2,025 in buy-ins according to the same report, which is the sort of detail multi-flight events produce and single-day events do not.

The field, in three versions

How many people played The One depends on which source you read. Card Player, writing on October 13, gave 24,075 total entries and 8,139 unique players, with 2,362 reaching Day 2 from 26 Day 1 flights, and a prize pool of $5,537,250. Somuchpoker and PokerHeaven, both on October 16, gave the same 24,000-plus entries and 2,362 Day 2 players, but Somuchpoker’s headline count was 18,730 unique players, a figure that also appears in CoinPoker’s own statement as quoted by Card Player. PokerHeaven’s stats table printed 8,139 with a euro sign in front of it, which is most likely a formatting error.

The desk’s record carries 24,075 entries and 8,139 unique players from Card Player, with the 18,730 figure attached in the entries note. It does not pick a winner between them. A reader who needs the unique-player count for anything serious should treat the number as unsettled, which is what the record says.

The final table

Seven places were published. After TonyTheToenailcollector ($1,000,000) and zoru99 ($500,000) came Bufunfa with $325,000, VivaLasVegans with $225,000, SeniorTalez with $160,000, raketenbauer with $112,500 and billy1913 with $77,500. The seven prizes add to $2,400,000, which PokerHeaven states as the combined final-table payout. Tiniesta1994 finished fifteenth for $19,250. Whether the final table was seven-handed or the reports simply stopped at seventh is not stated; the record keeps the seven rows it has.

Bufunfa’s previous best cash, per Somuchpoker, was $2,760. The $325,000 for third is the kind of jump that a $250 event with a $5,000,000 guarantee exists to produce, and that a $10,000 high roller never does.

The money and the currency

CoinPoker’s tables run in USDT, and Card Player printed the payouts with the tether symbol in its table and dollars in its text. The ledger shows dollars as published; the record’s notes say which currency the room actually paid. The prize pool of $5,537,250 against a $5,000,000 guarantee means the guarantee was comfortably beaten, by just over half a million.

Set beside the rest of the ledger, The One is the clearest example of the format at the opposite end from the high rollers: the lowest buy-in on the front page, the second-largest field after the Ocean KO Opener, and a first prize that only the WSOP Online Main Event and the $10,300 WCOOP High beat on this site. The record carries all three sources with their dates, and the one open item, the field size, is written down as a disagreement rather than a number.
