Main Event Number of Entrants Predictions! (WARNING: medium-rare content)

Jesus Wept

How many entrants will the WSOP Main Event get this year?

• One guess per person
• Accurate guesses after 8pm GMT Tonight (July 06) will garner less respect than ones before that time (the start of Day 1 Main Event).
• Winner can choose from a prize of a charming carriage clock or this wonderful donkey that holds and dispenses cigerettes. Please wait 8-12 centuries for delivery.

I thought it was going to be under 6,500 but numbers seem to be pretty good for everything else so it'll just tip 8k.

Online Poker Sites are not allowed to awards satellite tickets. I think they mostly have to award cash prizes for the player to buy themselves into the event. Alot of people will just take the $10k instead. So there will be a large drop in internet qualifiers. Plus there's less online sites servicing US customers, so less online events aimed at getting ppl into the WSOP.

I dunno, the last 3 years the numbers have increased dramatically. I'm sticking with my estimate!

Would you like to financially trade that view????
