The Numbers
It's officially official. The 244 runners from this second flight have combined with the 468 runners from Day 1a to create a Main Event field 712 players strong. There entries have generated a prize pool worth $1,035,960, one of the largest in the history of the Florida poker scene.
That prize money will be divvied out among the final 72 survivors with the bottom cash being worth $2,871. Make it to the final table and you'll guarantee yourself close to $20,000, and if you make it all the way to heads-up play, you'll walk out with a six-figure score. Collect all the chips and you win yourself a shiny gold-and-diamond ring, a seat into the National Championship freeroll in May, and 210,180 dollar bills.
