The World Series of Poker Main Event recorded another milestone with 10,112 entries (71 players more than last year). To add to record-breaking numbers, this event brings the largest prize pool for a poker tournament of $94,041,600.00. The sponsor of the WSOP, Caesars Entertainment, grosses $7,078,400.00. That means 7% - WSOP gets 4.9% with 2.1% held for the dealers and staff.

The final nine payout goes as follows (with the revamped WSOP schedule):

1st: $10 million ($2.1 million less than what Dan Weinman made for winning the 2023 Main Event)
2nd: $6 million
3rd: $4 million
4th: $3 million
5th: $2.5 million
6th: $2 million
7th: $1.5 million
8th: $1.25 million
9th: $1 million

Niklas let it slip on the hero call, if he folded, I think it would be much better! He's much better than his opponents wanting to decide that hand in a questionable spot...

I thought this year the total number of participants in the wsop main event would be smaller . Let's see next year how things will go , are we going to have a new record or no

I think it's a toss up. Before the ending of the WSOP Main Event, I would have said yes, it would increase next year. But now with the controversy surrounding what happened, I'm not entirely sure. We still could, but probably not as big of a potential jump. I think the WSOP needs to address it and make the rules completely 100% clear on what is and isn't allowed on the rails.

I agree with you on your viewpoint. Some rules need to be revisited, amended or added.

With so much focus on the outcome of this year's ME final table, it will be interesting to see how the numbers trend for next year.
