World Series of Poker prize pool payout schedule | IXGAMES
Most players who finish in the money in 2007 World Series of Poker events will receive a higher percentage of the prize pools than last year, WSOP officials said today. Qualify for a FREE seat at the World Series of Poker in one of the many daily satellite poker tournaments at Bodog Poker. While the final payout schedule for each event depends on the final number of entrants, a comparison of the actual payouts for the 2006 Main Event with what they would have been under the new payout schedule illustrates the differences. Overall, 846 players last year would have won substantially more money – in some case, more than double – what they collected in 2006. The top 27 players would have received less, however. 
For example, the 2006 Main Event would have paid $22,266 for 873rd through 775th places, up from $14,605 or $15,512. Places 82 through 73 would have paid $126,173, up from $66,010. First place would have paid $10,028,715, down from $12 million, while second place would have been worth $5,442,769, compared with $6,105,900. The 2007 World Series of Poker Presented by Milwaukees Best Light will begin June 1 at the Rio® All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
