With just under 100 players left, there are still four players in the World Series of Poker main event who are in line to receive much more than the $12 million top prize because they qualified at Full Tilt.

If Richardo Velasco, Luke Chung, Sabyl Cohen, or Michael Bower goes on to win the main event, Full Tilt will pay the player an additional $10 million. That's $1 million a year for the next 10 years.

Also, if any of these players makes the final table, Full Tilt will pay an additional $50,000. If any of the players finishes in the top three, the player will receive an additional $100,000.

Out of 8,773 players, 423 qualified for the main event at Full Tilt Poker. The four players left all qualified for $535 or less.

As of 3 p.m. on Sunday, Velasco is leading the bunch with 1.2 million in chips. Cohen is right behind him with $960,000 in chips. Chung sits at $650,000 chips and Bower at $353,000. To keep track of CardPlayer.com's chip counts, click here. The chip leader sits at $3.65 million.

Full Tilt had an extensive qualifier system to get into this year's main event, and the final table and victory bonus was the largest on the Internet.
