WSOP Main Event: $8 Million Prize Awaits Winner as Prizepool Announced
The WSOP Main Event has announced a prizepool of just over $62 million, with the winner set to receive $8,000,000. The event features 1,000 paid spots, with the minimum cash being $15,000. The runner-up will take home $4.3 million, and the final nine players will secure at least $1 million each.
Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion, is leading in chips on Day 3. Phil Hellmuth, aiming for his 17th bracelet, survived to Day 3 but needs to double up quickly. Mike Matusow will join Phil Hellmuth on Day 3 with 141k chips.
Vanessa Kade was eliminated from the Main Event after a river bluff. Sam Greenwood was eliminated early due to an unfortunate cooler. Jean-Paul Pasqualini, involved in the 2013 Partouche Poker Tour cheating allegations, did not make it to Day 3.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
