By the Numbers
This first-ever major African tournament has pulled an impressive 416 entries at €4,500 apiece. The prize money will be distributed among the final 54 players with the bottom prize level being worth €8,219. Each of the final six players at the final table will be guaranteed more than €55,000, and the top four spots are all good for six-figure paydays.
The man or woman who outlasts the whole room and collects all the chips in play will be rewarded with a WPT title and 4,305,600 Dirhams! That's €377,262.22 if you're converting currencies at home. The full breakdown of the prize pool can be found in the tab to the right.
