By the Numbers
Today's second flight saw another 281 runners take their seats to begin play. Adding that number to the 188 from yesterday gives us a total field size of 469 for the combined Day 1. In addition, there were six no-shows whose entries were added to the prizepool to create a small overlay for those who did show up. As such, the prizepool and payouts are based on 475 players.
The total pool those runners generated adds up to $2,303,750. That money will be split between the 45 final players with the bottom level payout being worth $9,210. Going up from there, the final table of six will all be guaranteed at least $66,801, and the top four spots are all worth six-figure paydays. The lucky man or woman who manages to collect every chip in play will walk away with a handsome check for $753,320.
