WSOP breaks main event record, surpasses 10,000 start fields for the first time in history

By the time registration officially closes on Sunday, the 54th WSOP Main Event had received as many as 10,043 applications, breaking the record of 8,773 17 years ago in 2006. Since each application cost US$10,000, these 10,043 applications equate to a total of US$104.4 million paid by the players, and the total prize money amounts to $93.4 million after the WSOP retained US$7 million, or 4.9% for royalties and 2.1% for tournament staff.

In a related development, Ty Stewart, senior vice president and executive director of WSOP, said, "This is the best summer ever for WSOP. It's a good idea to break the all-time record because you can see the field of records every week. 10,000 players is historic for the industry and this year's champion will be remembered as the one to conquer the richest events in poker history until at least 2024."

Huge prize pool:

The aforementioned main event boasted a huge prize of US$93.4 million, with the winner receiving US$12.1 million. In addition, each of the nine players in the final standings will be guaranteed a minimum prize of US$900, while the top eight will be rewarded with immediate millionaires.

However, players ranked between 1,507 and 1,005 will receive at least $15,000 in prize money because only 15 percent of the starting field, or 1,507 players, will be cashed in.
