With 839 poker players all fired-up and ready to play, the prize pool is now at $4,195,000. prize pool. This year's event stands as the largest ever on the WPT circuit, and those substantial numbers portend potential growth across the board at the remaining 14 events to be filmed for Season IV on the Travel Channel.
