A Numbers Game
Registration was closed for this event following the second level, and we finally have some numbers for you.
A total of 654 runners turned up for Event #9 this year, an increase of 21 players over last year's field. Their entries created a prize pool worth $877,500, and 63 places will pay out cash prizes with the bottom payout level being worth $2,851.
The real money is at the final table where each of the last nine players will be guaranteed at least $14,715. The top two spots are each good for six-figure scores, and the lucky winner will be rewarded with a shiny gold bracelet along with $197,470 in cash. Not too shabby.
The full breakdown of the prizepool will magically appear in the "Payouts" tab momentarily.
