When Canadian Poorya Nazari beat a field of 1,347 to take first at the 2009 PCA, he walked away $3 million. This year, the player who manages to best a field of 1,529 will take just $2.2 million. The difference is that while 199 made the money in 2009, a total of 224 will this year. And while the first payout level was just $2,500 above the $10,000 buy-in last year, it is $5k above it now. “More players are getting paid and the players are getting paid better,” said PokerStars live poker specialist, player liaison and event host Neil Johnson.
