First-Place Prize Increases for 2010 WSOP-E Main Event
With the field size increasing from last year to this year, that means there will be more prize money awarded to first place. This year's prize is worth £830,401. That's £28,798 more than last year and a positive increase that the WSOP and all poker players like to see.
Take a look at the graph to see the trend of first-place prize money awarded in the WSOP Europe Main Event each year. You'll see that there was a very large prize awarded of £1,000,000 to Annette Obrestad in 2007 before dropping off each year until it was kicked back up this year. That's thanks to the high amount of participation this year has seen with 346 players taking to action here in London.
Just making it to the money this year is worth £21,106 and a total of 36 spots will be paid out. Head to the payouts page to see all the payouts and here's a look at the final table payouts.
