The World Series of Poker announced on Tuesday that it has altered the payout structure of its flagship $10,000 Main Event. The world's most prestigious poker tournament will no longer feature a $10 million guarantee top prize, instead guaranteeing 1,000 places in the money receiving at least $15,000.

The World Series of Poker features nearly 70 distinct tournaments, each with its own buy-in. The Colossus event, which has the smallest buy-in of the Series, offers players a seat for just $565. The most famous WSOP tournament is the No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, which has a $10,000 buy-in. In 1991, the World Series of Poker awarded its first $1 million payout to Brad Daugherty for winning the Main Event. It wasn’t until 2001 that second place also paid seven figures.

'The dream of life-changing money is core to the DNA of the WSOP Main Event and we also want to make it easier to experience playing in poker’s Big Show,' said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. 'Our players understand numbers, and 2015 now presents the best odds ever to leave the Main Event a winner.'
Last year's $10 million guaranteed top prize was met with criticism from many in the poker community who argued that the steep payout negatively affected the rest of the payouts. Eventual champion Martin Jacobson collected the $10 million prize in November, while runner-up Felix Stephensen received just over half that amount ($5,145,968). Mark Newhouse, who finished ninth for the second straight year, took home $730,725.

| 1st | $8,000,000 |
