By the Numbers

Registration is closed for our event, and we finally have some numbers for you.

A very impressive 792 runners turned up for this $5,000-buy-in event, a huge increase over last year's 655. Their entries have generated a prize pool worth $3,722,400 which will be distributed over the last 72 players left standing.

The minimum cash is worth $10,497, and each of the final tablists will be guaranteed more than $60,000. The six-figure paydays start with seventh place, and the final heads-up pairing will have each locked up more than a half-million dollars.

The lucky man or woman who claims every chip in play will be handed the gold bracelet and a handsome check for $818,959. With the payouts now fixed firmly in their sights, the 680 remaining players are off into the meaty middle section of Day 1.
