Here’s the breakdown of the prize money.

What has been said?
Defending champion Mark Allen expressed his disappointment over the “embarrassing” commentary following his triumph at last year’s Snooker Shoot Out.
The Northern Irish star commented: “I found Neal Foulds’ commentary quite embarrassing.
“There’s a big difference between being given chances and creating them.”
“By the way, I respect @fouldsy147, but I think he was incorrect in his commentary last night.”
