The Borgata
Last year’s event, won by eventual Card Player Player of the Year runner-up Dwyte Pilgrim, drew the previous high of 1,042, but this year’s tournament benefited from the addition of a re-entry rule on day 1B for those who wanted to take one more shot or improve upon their day 1A chip count.
Thanks to the $3,500 buy-in, the total prizepool amounted to $4,192,913, easily covering the $3 million guarantee. The top 100 finishers will make the money and take home at least $8,386.
Those that make the six-handed televised final table will earn a minimum of $186,585 and the winner will leave Atlantic City with $922,441.
The final table will take place on Friday and will be broadcasted live on worldpokertour.com with commentary by Card Player blogger Tony Dunst and a rotating cast of poker professionals.
