$5.9M Prize Pool - $839K For the Winner
Late registration has closed and the field grew by 459 entrants from the end of Day 1 to a total field of 5,903 entrants. This generated a $5,903,000 prize pool to smash the $5 million guarantee.
Day 2 will begin with 2,070 players remaining and end when the field is just down to 80 players.
Players will be deep in the cash by that point with the top 735 players guaranteed at least a $2,228 payout with 80th getting nearly triple that with a $5,979 payout.
Wednesday's winner is slated to win a top prize of $838,909 barring any deals at the final table which would have to include at least $50,000 to the winner.
