The Numbers

The official number for today's field is 210, which includes 53 players who repechaged into today after already busting out yesterday. This puts the total number of entrants for the 2009 PokerNews Cup Main Event at 381.

While last year's field generated 410 entrants, the final figure of 381 is a strong one considering current tough economic times, the general slide in total numbers across the poker industry and the abundance of poker events available to players in 2009.

The top 32 players will finish in the money with a minimum cash worth $4,000. Reach the final table of nine and you'll pocket $12,000, while the champion will claim the trophy and a whopping $250,000.
