Table Of Contents
Following the conclusion of Level 7 on Day 2d on Saturday, registration has closed in the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event with 10,043 players, creating a prize pool of $93,399,900.
When this record-breaking tournament wraps next week. The winner will take home a cool $12,100,000, the largest first-place Main Event prize ever. No one knows exactly who that lucky and skilled individual will be — the tournament hasn't even reached the money bubble — but it won't be the defending champion, Espen Jorstad, who was sent to the rails on Day 2abc Friday when his flopped set ran into a straight.
