How much money does the winner of the World Series of Poker get?
With the final table set in the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event, we take a look at how much is at stake for the overall winner
Matthew Su and Espen Jorstad started the final event at the 2022 WSOP with 83.2 million apiece in chips. With the 8663 entrants in this year’s event now whittled down to the final three, this has been one of the greatest in the 53-year history of the event.
What the final three in the Main Event are playing for:
— WSOP (@WSOP) July 16, 2022
1st: $10,000,000
2nd: $6,000,000
3rd: $4,000,000
And of course...

Ten players started the day with a chance to go through to the final table, but only Jorstad, Adrian Attenborough, and Michael Duek are still standing, with the guarantees of a big payday for each. Duek, at 23 is the youngest of the group and all three have form, with Jorstad winning the GGPoker.com Main Event last year, Duek took home $548,015 in the Omaha eight-max event earlier this year, and Attenborough finishing third at the 2017 Bellagio Cup.
One of these three players will win the #WSOPMainEvent, $10,000,000 and the Main Event Bracelet?

This is what I've seen so far today @WSOP Main Event. Royal Flush over quads, quads over quads(both hands at adjacent table), and then a guy at my table tossing his chip in the pot and it landing on its side pic.twitter.com/Hp9CsKdTfK
