The $5,200 Main Event, taking place on 26th-28th September, was originally guaranteed a $10 million prize pool and $2 million for the winner. As 2,443 players entered, however, it eventually exceeded $12 million which was distributed to the best 306 and the winner,
‘PotterPoker’, took home $2.3 million. He both managed to beat many of the pros of the online poker community and won the biggest
WCOOP prize ever; except for some
WSOP,
WPT and
EPT events, it was even bigger than most of the live tournament prizes as well.
