The second part will be split according to the ranking after a tie-break . # 1 receives € 3.500 + € 5.000 = € 8.500 # 2 receives € 3.500 + € 4.000 = € 7.500 # 3 receives € 3.500 + € 3.000 = € 6.500 # 4 receives € 3.500 + € 2.000 = € 5.500 ( Please note that the amounts € 5.000 , 4.000 , 3.000 and 2.000 are just half of the original prizes .)
