Another three players entered the Main Event just before the start of Day 2. This means that this year's Main Event drew a field of 648 entries that created a AU$6,480,000 prize pool, of which the top 72 finishers will receive a share (the winner will get AU$1.6 million).
Felix Stephensen from Norway collected an incredible $5,147,911 when he finished second to Martin Jacobson in the 2014 WSOP Main Event about 1,5 week ago. However, it doesn't seem like he will be able to enjoy his massive payday for much longer as the Norwegian tax department is after half of his winnings.
The 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event has been narrowed down from nine to three players after the first day of the November Nine final table (the first day lasted for 244 hands).
