The dealer then revealed the card, finishing Negreanu in 99th place and ending the Main Event in this year's competition. The Main Event attracted 2,844 entries, and according to PokerNews that day, the total prize pool reached CA$13,042,800 (approximately US$9.46 million), with the champion taking home CA$1,500,000.
