Today, 3,389 poker players came to the Rio with $1,500 and a dream. That resulted in a massive prizepool worth $4,575,150.
Of those entrants, only 342 competitors will get paid but a cash will be good for no less than $2,882. One lucky man or woman, however, will walk a way with a whopping $777,928! Even just making the official final table will net you a cool $59,705.
There are still 830 players left though which means less than half of the remaining field will get paid. With only a level and a half left to play tonight, we will likely reach the money tomorrow afternoon. But every player knows that now is the time to accumulate those crucial chips that they will need for the bubble which makes staking focused now as important as ever.
