Let's take last night's tournament for instance, which ended up with a total of (144) entries, and an official prize pool of $29,952. With those numbers, the eventual winner was scheduled to take home close to $12,000!!! Those payouts also make it easier for final table chops, as numbers seem to become more agreeable when they are larger. Last night's tournament did end in a deal, with Gil Nachum receiving a lion's share of the money. He didn't cross the five-figure mark, but his overwhelming chip lead did earn him $8,000 (and 38.46 leaderboard points). Official results from the tournament are listed below:
