By the Numbers
The numbers are in. A total of 382 players have put up the $1,600 buyin for this final Main Event of the 2010-11 World Series of Poker Circuit season. Their entries have generated a prize pool worth $550,060, and that money will be divided between the final 45 players.
The bottom payout is worth $2,486, and it's those sixty-four cents that make all the difference. Going up from there, each of the nine who make Wednesday's final table will be guaranteed at least $11,441, and the top three will all pocket more than $50,000. To the lucky man or woman who finally collects every chip in play will go the diamond ring, $121,017, and the title of Main Event Champion. That title also comes with one of the few remaining entries into the National Championship later this month.
