Preliminaries: Pool/Menchaca/Burnett
February 14

The fifteen people you are about to see on this stage in the next two weeks have done what countless others could not do. They are not just champions, but in some cases, they are mega champions. Among them, they've won over $1.5 million in prize money. They are the best of the last season and a half and this week, they're coming back for $250,000 and the right to be called CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS.

Second place will be awarded $100,000, while third gets $50,000. Semifinalists who make it to week 2 will receive at least $10,000. Everyone will receive at least $5000. In total, a prize pool of almost half a million dollars will be awarded over the next two weeks. All money will be determined, as always, by how far the players go in the tournament.

This is a standard two-week affair, meaning that all 15 will play this week, with the five game winners joining the four highest-scoring non-winners in a win-or-go-home race to the two-day final.

We have one semifinalist in Paul Nelson. #2 will be one of these three...
