This week, we’ve got a double barrel pointed right at you. By that, we mean a double shot of WSOP 2016 News: we’ve got updates on the main event, and also some updates on Fedor Holz and his incredible run
2016 Main Event is the biggest since 2011
This year’s $10,000 Buy-in No-Limit Holdem WSOP Main Event has been the biggest since 2011. Split over 3 flights starting on July 9th, 6737 players packed into three massive rooms to kick off the tournament.
The moment when the bubble burst at the 2016 WSOP Main Event.
The tournament was made more deep stacked this year, with 50,000 in starting chips given to each player. This is up 66% from previous years to meet the trend of players receiving five times their buy-in in chips.
The bubble was also expanded, with 15% of the field being “in the money” this year. This guarantees at least 1000 players will be paid prize money of a minimum $15,000.
The total prize pool this year will be just north of $63,000,000 USD; $8,000,000 (and a WSOP bracelet) of which will go to first place. The entire final table will leave with no less than $1,000,000 each.
