2022 World Series of Poker Main Event Draws 8,663 Entries

The numbers are in for the 2022 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. A grand total of 8,663 entries were made by the time registration closed, making this year’s world championship the second-largest in main event history. Only the 2006 WSOP main event drew more players, with 8,773 entries.

The huge turnout resulted in a prize pool of nearly $80.8 million dollars, which will be split up amongst the top 1,300 finishers. A min-cash will be worth $15,000, while the eventual champion is set to walk away with $10,000,000, in addition to this: the redesigned WSOP main event championship bracelet.

The top 80 finishers will earn six-figure scores this year, with the top eight securing seven figures or more. The final five will all be multi-millionaires thanks to their deep runs in this event.
