The prize fund breakdown has been released for the European Championship which begins this Thursday in Gottingen and sees James Wade aiming to defend his title he won 12 months ago.
For whoever does win the European Championship, they will have an increase on last year's total with £500,000 prize fund compared to £400,000 last year.
