The nine finalists are paid 9th place prize money at this time ($900,670). That will leave approximately $24 million up for grabs in November. Since the interest in $24 million for a 117-day period is substantial, Harrahs Entertainment will place the prize money into an interest-bearing account.

The additional funds earned from the account will be added to the prize pool amongst the remaining nine players. Hence, each player is expected to collect a bit more in prize money than the figures which have previously been announced.
