From a poker perspective, when the WSOP is on ldo.
not that balla enough to paly that many big tourneys all the time probs max 3k total
prob prefer to play many small ones then just punt it off a big tourney
There are 4/5 smaller festivals going on at other casinos in vegas with the majority of buyins in the $100-500 range.
WSOP sats in the rio every day, along with 1000 runner $200 crapshoots. Craploads of cash games going on.
The series is simply a catalyst for all this.
