The 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event begins Thursday, July 20. This year’s Main Event was the biggest field in nearly a decade and the third-largest in tournament history. Day 1C had 4,262 entrants, making it the single-largest day turnout in WSOP history. The 2017 Main Event has a total prize pool of $67,877,400. The tournament paid through 1,084th-place with a min-cash of $15,000. The 2017 WSOP Main Event had a field of 7,221 players, but only nine remain.
