How many people are starting day 3, do we know?

[boldie]

hell....give me 6mill and you can stuff your bracelet

then again...I'd probably have to play in it first.

Do you think the guy who finishes 2nd will feel as if he's just won $6 mill, or just lost $6 mill?

depends...if you are massive chip leader going into the final 2 then he probably feels as if he's lost 6mill at first...a few days later he won't give a crap as he's won 6 mill.
I would consider it winning 6mill to ebat a couple of thousand players....the bracelet is cool but I'd much MUCH rather have the money, knowing there are other tournaments to come.

Good job first place pays both then.
