DAHOV Performs at Big Deal for One Drop 2025 in Las Vegas

Big Deal for One Drop returned to Resorts World Las Vegas during Formula 1 weekend, bringing together internationally recognized poker professionals, celebrities, racing personalities, One Drop Global Ambassador Heather Acheson, and supporters for an afternoon of competition and philanthropy overlooking the Las Vegas Strip.

Hosted by One Drop founder Guy Laliberté and emceed by 17-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, the tournament welcomed a prominent field that included actress and poker player Jennifer Tilly, racing legend David Coulthard and Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari.

An Iranian-American professional poker champion, Esfandiari famously won the inaugural $1 million Big One for One Drop in 2012, earning $18,346,673—at the time, the largest single tournament payout in poker history.

Presented by KULA, DAHOV delivered a live drum production accompanied by dancers from FANTASY, the celebrated Las Vegas production. Together, DAHOV and the dancers brought a high-energy visual performance to the exclusive setting of Allē Lounge on 66. PokerNews also named “Drummer Dahov presented by Kula” among the event’s valued partners and featured entertainment, providing independent coverage of his participation.

The performance created a meaningful connection beyond the tournament. Esfandiari watched DAHOV’s performance at Big Deal for One Drop and subsequently booked him to perform at his private birthday celebration in Los Angeles the following week.

The event also featured a silent auction and united poker, entertainment and philanthropy during one of Las Vegas’s most internationally visible weekends.
