The year-end Grand Finale
Every monthly champion earns a seat at the December Pho-nomenal Finale, where $6,000 is on the line: 1st wins $3,000 ($2,000 cash + $1,000 in gift cards), 2nd wins $2,000 ($1,000 cash + $1,000 gift card), and 3rd wins $1,000 ($500 cash + $500 in gift cards). Finalists who don't place in the top 3 get $25 gift cards.
No losers at Master Pho
Because every non-winner walks away with a $25 gift card, a $35 entry nets out to roughly $10 for a giant bowl of pho - plus a shot at the whole prize pool.
