WSOP Main Event # of entrants

Gdm · #1 (**permalink**) 07-01-2007, 06:25 AM

i was wondering if there are any estimations about the number of entrants this year....

do you think there will be a new record, or the whole U.S legistlation thing + the non direct registration of online sattelite winners will cut down the number of entrants?

I'm going to say that there will be at least 10k people at the WSoP main event this year.

That would make for a sick prize pool, I hope a pro wins in this year.

i think there will be less players there this year and i also think that the poker boom is starting to level off..

i take that back.. they just added another day one and another day two to the schedule.. so say they have 2500 ppl a day so i'm guessing around 8000 to 10 000 ppl.. i think they cap it at 10 000

Nope... there is no cap. Any loser that shows up with $10k before the cut off gets a seat.

I read that as "I'm going to say that there will be at least 10 people at the WSoP main event this year."
