It's officially official - A very impressive 817 players showed up for this $5,000 Triple Chance event which means it will almost certainly take four days to play this thing out. The prize pool generated by the entrants tallies up to $3,839,000, and that money will be divided between the final 81 players.

The full breakdown of the payouts is in the appropriate tab below, but we can give you a few quick highlights. The mini-cash is worth $9,561, just a bit less than twice the buy-in. Going up from there, each of the final nine will be guaranteed at least $61,889, and the six-figure payouts start with 7th place. Get heads-up and you'll be guaranteed more than a half-million dollars, and the lucky man or woman who comes out of this thing with the bracelet will also pocket $825,604.

That's a lot of bread.
