The prize pool
Tournament Director Danny McDonagh has announced that there are nine confirmed no-shows for this tournament, and two more who may be on the way. As is the case for all APPT tournament, the buy-ins of no-shows stay in the prize pool. If all eleven players fail to turn up, the prize pool will effectively have an overlay of about $22,000. Put another way, it means that more than half of the entry fee that was raked out of each buy-in will be returned to the prize pool.
