Title: Poll's going to pot Post by: TightEnd on May 08, 2007, 04:04:12 PM How many runners will the WSOP main event have this year, and why?
Title: Re: Poll's going to pot Post by: Sheriff Fatman on May 08, 2007, 04:14:28 PM Numbers will be greatly reduced this year as many people qualifying via Stars/Full Tilt etc, and receiving cash payments, will opt to keep the money (if possible) or spread it across several smaller buy-in events if given the chance to do so.
I think 3,000- 4,000 this year. Ironically, when I was in Vegas in March, the Caesars dealers seemed to think this would have no impact and that numbers would continue to grow. They were talking about 10-12,000 entries this year. Personally I think main event attendances will suffer this year, although side events probably won't be affected.

Although i think it's possible people including myself will underestimate the amount of people buying in directly. Title: Re: Poll's going to pot Post by: TightEnd on May 08, 2007, 04:32:13 PM is it possible to suggest how many of the online qualifiers will take the $10k ( as third parties cannot buy them in) and use it elsewhere ? clearly not but what is your instinct on this?
Title: Re: Poll's going to pot Post by: Zebediah on May 08, 2007, 04:37:21 PM The shortest price on betfair is 9000+, Flushy, you can get a great price on your prediction...go for it.

Id say at least 70% Title: Re: Poll's going to pot Post by: Zebediah on May 08, 2007, 04:38:13 PM I went for over 5000 btw
