World Series Of Poker 2009: The $61 Million Split

World Series Of Poker 2009

Championship Event # 57

07/09/09

1,724 Players Remain

So how do you split up a $61 Million prizepool? It is simple math, but the numbers are staggering. This is one of those events where if  you put up $10,000 and finish in 648th place you still double your money.

Did I say "one of", probably the one and only! 

The top nine finishers in this event will meet in November where the last place player, 9th,  will win $1,263,602. Not bad for finishing last in November!. Of course the winner of the World Series Of Poker Championship will walk with $8,546,435. Really not bad for that $10,000 investment!

Here is how it breaks down:
