Tournament officials have confirmed the number of entries for the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event.
A total of 8,569 players stumped up the $10,000 buy-in, making this the second largest Main Event in history. This generated a prizepool of $80,548,600.
A total of 1,286 places will be paid and a min-cash is worth $15,000. Making the final table of nine will earn a player $1,000,000 with the winner walking away with $10,000,000, the joint second-biggest payday for a Main Event champion, level with Martin Jacobson in 2014.
