Prize Payouts
The winner of the tournament will take home €640,000 and the runner-up will take home €430,000. The money bubble will burst when 88 players remain - all players will be guaranteed at least €7,500 each.
imho it is always nice to play gorgeous opponents, and not fat old smelly guys who fall asleep during a hand, but they do wake up to catch you stealing...
