By the Numbers: Final Event (21) of 2014 Legends of Poker: $782,712 Prize Pool

With the 50 players who came in and brought in directly on Day 2, the prize pool swelled up to $782,712! That money will be spread out amongst the final 192 players here today, with the minimum payout going for $700. First place will of course get the lion's share of the prize pool, which in this case will be $152,102, as well as a $15,400 seat to the WPT Championship at the end of the season. Nearly everyone at the final table will lock up a five figure payday, as ninth place just misses that mark, paying out $9,820. Read below for a breakdown of the rest of the prize pool and good luck to the 130 players who still remain!
