Petoria 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think it's going to level off a lot after this last one. There are only so many satellites you can run. Stars sent 1100, I dont know where they're going to fit any more satellites. Link to post Share on other sites
CodyHartman 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think they are capping it at 8k. Four starting days of 2k each. If I had a link to the schedule I could confirm this. Link to post Share on other sites

PFunk 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Its still growing exponentially imo....I think somewhere between 8-9,000 will turn up...Surely it will start to level off (has to one would think), I just dont think this is the year...Harrah's a big machine, and the popularity with espn's broadcast, coupled with the ever continuing to grow online market spells huge numbers again-I call: 8,783P.

doublemeup 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 btw, the poll question was meant to be "How many people will be in the Main Event" my bad. :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
koshu 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 If the amount of entrants tripled up after the poker boom, the next year it doubled, how's it going to be next year? I'm in a very mathematical mood today;5,619 * 1,5 = 8,428.5 players Link to post Share on other sites

doublemeup 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 I still don't think they'll cap it. Think about it: How would they decide who comes and who goes? Would they be like "Sorry sir, you cant enter the Main Event but you won a satellite that you payed $3 for and this gentleman won a satellite that he payed $1 for." Link to post Share on other sites

CodyHartman 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 first come first served.....I remember last year some people who won seats were worried about not getting in b/c their entry fee had been sent in yet. Personally I dont think it will get to 8k anyways. just MHO. Link to post Share on other sites
