How many have qualified so far? What is likely number of players in event?
Sorry have asked before but after an update...
Looking forward to the trip! You going tighty?
Hey
Sorry for the delay in replying I was getting an update on players attending.
74 players that will have qualified for their seat – that automatically includes their main event seat.
A lot of them are bringing poker players as their guests, although they haven’t bought into the events yet
43 players have paid for room. All of these are poker players.
We are aiming for another 50 – 100 direct buy-ins.
On top of this, we have 20 main events seats allocated for local interest though the hotel.
We’re also expecting players to turn up that have booked directly through the hotel.
All in all we’re expecting 250+ in the main event.
Names confirmed include
James Dempsey
Sam Trickett
Rob Yong
Erich Kollmann
Marcel Luske
Devilfish
Andrew Feldman
I hope this helps, it's hard to give exact numbers as I'm sure there are still players who are waiting to qualify and may buy in if they don't.
Cheers Nicola
