Prize Pool Announced
The numbers are in and the prize pool and payouts have been announced. The total number of Day 1 2017 Suncity Cup entries (including the four prior legs held outside of Macau) comes in at 832 and combined with the 96 Day 2 direct entries brings the total number of runners up to an impressive 928.
All that action has generated a prize pool of HK$8,008,300, beating the HK$8 million guarantee by HK$8,300 so those hoping for some juicy overlay will have to contain their disappointment.
The tournament has already paid out HK$744,000 in cash to all the Day 2 qualifiers who made it through the respective Day 1's and although we are still a good 24 hours away from making the hallowed money spots it’s still nice to know what everyone is playing for (aside from the fun factor of course) and the top 35 places will be getting paid.
A min-cash is good for HK$50,900 but it is the top prize all will have their eye on and the eventual 2017 Suncity Cup champion will walk away with HK$1,925,000, in addition to the trophy and title – and of course the all-important bragging rights.
