Different from other pool tournaments, this is a winner-take-all event: The winner earns the entire purse of the division (men's or women's); in 2009, the men's-division pot was US$25,000.
This type of tournament stands out from others because it is an all-or-nothing contest where the winner gets the entire prize money of the division (either men's or women's); in 2009, the men's division had a total of US$25,000.
