By the Numbers

Registration for this event is now closed, and the final numbers have been tallied.

This first-ever major African tournament has pulled an impressive 416 entries at €4,500 apiece. The prize money will be distributed among the final 54 players with the bottom prize level being worth €8,219. Each of the final six players at the final table will be guaranteed more than €55,000, and the top four spots are all good for six-figure paydays.

The man or woman who outlasts the whole room and collects all the chips in play will be rewarded with a WPT title and 4,305,600 Dirhams! That's €377,262.22 if you're converting currencies at home. The full breakdown of the prize pool can be found in the tab to the right.

The big board shows that nearly 50 people have already been shown the door, leaving us with 369 at the moment.
