According to a google search the biggest prize for the first place in a tournament, was on 2012 for a 18 millions win: by antonio esfandiari. We are talking about a huge prize. The game was "The Big One for One Drop"

These two people who stayed at the table heads up, played 10 hours for this difference of 3,8 millions dolars. You can make the difference to see what does it mean to be a good player at high stakes. The top 7 players were Americans and shows once again where this game was invented.

I wouldn't complain if I had won that prize pool. It's really life changing money, but I guess for these poker pros, it's just a normal pay day. I wish I was that good but I'll just have to acceot that I'm at least good enough to make a profit, even tho it's not as big as I would have wanted it to be.

erru9107 even for a professional poker player it is not a normal day to earn so much money. This is about millions of dollars. No poker player on this planet earns so much money in every day. You are crazy men. Is too much, is huge.

Well yeah, but it's not unheared of that poker pros win a few million in a day so it's not too unusual. That being said, 8.8 million is a huge sum of money, even for a WSOP Main Event.
But this huge amount of money a high stakes poke pro can earn it in a couple of months/less than a year. Yes for sure unsual to win it in a day but very doable to win it a I just mentioned...
Very well done John, it is now a life changing stuff for you but I hope it will only have a positive impact only for the rest of your life.

It is very difficult to earn such a sum in a few months Calmplay. Daniel Negreanu won in approximate 28 years 39 millions and 500 k dollars. To win 8 millions and 800 k dollars it's not easier. The awards have grown nowadays but very few players succeed this thing. Even a million dollars can be earned hard if there are no high-prize tournaments. However, there are many big annual tournaments and is very good for professional players.

Belated congratulations to John Cynn on winning the 2018 WSOP main event and scooping $8.8 million! I have tried to find this year's WSOP main event episodes and final table live streams on PokerTube and YouTube, but they are nowhere to be found. That's disappointing.
