$41,000 for first place and $5,000 for last. That is not a huge amount of money compared to a lot of tournaments.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

$41,000 - more than winning the Kuksu title. Not bad.

Really! I am surprised.

I assume that they receive game fees in addition to the prize money?
