World Series of Poker Statistics

 

-- WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel estimates the total number of hands dealt out in this tournament through Day Six to be 479,321.

 

 

-- The 2009 WSOP Main Event now ranks as the third-largest live poker tournament in history.  Only the 2006 and 2008 Main Event championships drew larger numbers.  It should be noted that if the Rio had greater seating capacity (Day 1-D sold out), this year's tournament would have unquestionably surpassed last year's attendance figures.

 

 

-- The total prize pool for this year's Main Event totals $61,043,600.  However, this figure is not final.  Since interest is added to payouts for players who will constitute the November Nine, the final figure will actually be slightly higher.

 

 

-- All players who make it to the final table this year (the November Nine) will earn at least $1 million.  The 2009 world champion will collect $8,546,435 for first place (plus slightly more money in added interest).

 

 

-- With registration for this year’s Main Event, the World Series of Poker crossed the $1,000,000,000 threshold in total prize money awarded to players.  During its 40-year history, the WSOP has paid out $1,041,265,271.  Incredibly, more than $700,000,000 has been paid out just in the last five years alone, since Harrah’s Entertainment assumed control of the tournament.  Here is the historical prize pool information for the World Series of Poker.

 

2009 -- $174,011,894

2008 -- $180,774,427

2007 -- $159,796,918

2006 -- $159,599,815

1970-2005 -- $354,000,000

GL to both...

[Sark79]

Esfandiari is still in as well.  If Ivey wins this, he will be even richer than he already is.  $10 million in side bets already this wsop

[The Camel]

apologies in adance if this has been mentioned before..

BUT WTF IS GOING ON WITH THE PAYOUTS IN THE MAIN EVENT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

http://www.pokernews.com/wsop/2009/event-57/payouts/

A 450k jump from 10th to 9th and then a 37k jump from 9th to 8th!

A bigger jump from 10th to 9th than from 9th to 6th.

Ridiculous.

He said in his poker road thingy that the money he made in bets on the first 2 bracelet wins he lost back on the horse event.

Ridiculous.


Looking at the final table payouts 6th to 9th look very flat. Maybe the TV Companies
want to get this bit out of the way quickly so players are not sitting out to go up the money tree.     

6 $ 1,587,133
7 $ 1,404,002
8 $ 1,300,228 
9 $ 1,263,602
