WSOP has been actively promoting its event over the years and trying to build towards a stronger in-person turn-up, which has finally resulted in a new record for the main table.
Entry into the Main Event is not cheap either, with each one of the entrants having to spend some $10,000 to have a seat and a chance at winning the now-massive $12.1 million guaranteed prize pool for topping the final table’s pecking order. The total prize pool is now much higher owing to the eye-watering interest in the biggest table the poker tournament has to offer.
Presently, the aggregate paid by players to participate has reached $100.4 million. WSOP has generated 4.9% from fees and 2.1% for tournament staff from that amount, bringing the organization’s own tally to $7 million. Commenting on the record-breaking turnup, WSOP SVP and executive director Ty Stewart was excited
