By the Numbers

We have just finally received the payout sheet from the tournament staff, and the numbers are quite impressive. The 480 entrants generated a prize pool worth €3,336,000, which will be divided up amongst the final 10% of the field. The lucky player who manages to outlast the rest of his counterparts will take home an even €1,000,000, while the runner up will pocket €511,100. The full list of payout information will be loaded onto our Prizepool and Payouts page before the end of the night.

As we hit the halfway mark in Level 14, we have just 70 runners remaining. Play began with 221, meaning we have lost more than 150 throughout the course of the day. The average chip stack in the room at this moment is 137,143.

In a little bit of a scheduling shake up, we will play nine levels today. Play will conclude for the evening at the end of Level 17. With 48 spots paying out cash, we expect to be very close, or possibly even in the money by the time we get to the end of play tonight. We also expect the pace and style of play to tighten up considerably as we draw ever nearer to that guaranteed payout.
