$12,000,000

That is the amount of money one very skilled and very lucky player will win this year in the Championship Event of the World Series of Poker. Twelve players will finish the tournament as millionaires. Another fifteen will leave as half-millionaires. Sixty-three will pocket a six-figure check. That’s what you get when 8,773 players pony up $10,000 a piece to play in the richest poker game of all time.

There have been some complaints that the payouts jumps are too big towards the top, as after all, the heads-up match will be for six million dollars. But either way, a lot of players will be getting paid and a lot of players will be getting paid quite handsomely.
