There were 148 total entries into this year's tournament resulting in an enormous $7,104,000 prize pool. First place will be an astonishing $2,276,832, which is $492,192 more than Chip Reese took home for last year's first-place finish. If Daniel Negreanu were to take home the title, it would put him into first place on the WSOP all-time money list.
