The Numbers are In

Officially 246 players have bought into this WSOP Circuit Championship event in Lake Tahoe. Their Benjamins have generated a prize pool worth $354,240 with the payouts being distributed among the final 27 players. The bottom payout level is worth nearly twice the buyin, and the five-figure pay days start with 7th place ($12,611). Going up from there, each of the top five will pocket more than $20,000, and there's more than $50,000 guaranteed to each of the final two players. Whoever wins that last heads-up duel will walk away with $86,789, a shiny new piece of bling, and a golden ticket to the $1,000,000 season-ending National Championship freeroll.
