The prize pool for FTOPS #27 ended up at $2,321,000, more than tripling the guarantee of $750,000.
Thanks to the multi-entry format, players were allowed to purchase a maximum of four entries. Many players took full advantage and bought in four times, which ended up resulting in a 2,321 entrant field that produced a total prize pool of over $2.3 million.
