Event #3 is the largest non-WSOP main event poker tournament in history. The previous record was Event #17 at the 2006 World Series of Poker. That event attracted 2,891 entries. This year's first $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold championship destroyed the previous record by 107 players. There were approximately 2600 entries and 400 alternates, for a combined field of 2,998 players. This ranks as the third-largest poker tournament of all-time, behind the 2005 and 2006 championship (main) events. The winner was Ciaran O'Leary. The new champ is originally from Ireland. He now lives in Seattle, WA. O'Leary has played at the WSOP during six of the last ten years. However this was his first time ever to cash. What a huge payout it turned out to be -- $727,012 for first place. |
