8800 Is probably the max to be seated 11 handed but there is bound to be a huge alternates list.

There are officially at least 8,532 participants, and the word on the street is that there will be up to 500 alternates per day.

playing 11 handed would suck balls.

8800 people. that's insane. the person who wins this thing will need their luckbox cranked up to 11 throughout.

Also a pet hate of mine. I'd much prefer to slip quietly out the back door instead of having the eyes of every table looking at you while you take the walk of shame!
