Two thousand seven hundred fifteen players put up their buyins for today's event, generating an impressive total prizepool of $3,705,974. That money will be divided amongst the final 270 players with the bottom payout level being a respectable $2,890.

The top 18 spots are worth at least $25,000, and each of the nine final tablists will be guaranteed just over $80,000. Moving up from there, the top six will all take home triple digit cashes with the runner-up prize being worth just over $400,000. The lucky man or woman who outlasts the entire field and collects every chip in play three days from now will pocket $657,969 and a handy dandy gold bracelet.
