Pretty similar to last year. The only interesting part to me was this:
- 1st place: US$1,000,000
- 2nd place: US$400,000
- 3rd place: US$300,000
- 4th-5th place: US$200,000
- 6th-9th place: US$100,000
These values form the basis of a yearly contract with PokerStars and will be paid as part cash, part tournament entries (to include expenses and buy-in).
So make the final table and don't win and you can get the Chris Moneymaker "B" level contract.
