The ShuffleUp Main Event guarantee has been increased to R3.5 million following a strong opening flight at Montecasino. Day 1A attracted 140 entries, generating a prize pool of more than R1.6 million and prompting organisers to raise the guarantee from its original R2.5 million.

With Day 1B and the Turbo Flight still to come, the prize pool is expected to grow much further before registration closes. Tournament organisers have indicated that the R3.5 million guarantee is not necessarily the final figure, with the possibility of another increase remaining on the table should participation continue to exceed expectations.
