Will WSOP Main break 6000?

in WSOP / WPT / EPT Discussion
Less than 6000 seems to be the number thrown around, but all the other events have done just fine. 10k is a ton of money though and there is definetly far less players that can pony that up with frozen bankrolls.

So what do people think the line is here O/U 6000?

I will go with 5500, can't see more than 2000 players really affected since stars and others did pay up. Any of the high roller online players most likely played more than on just FTP.

I keep forgeting USA players can't win current WSOP packages, but still like that number.

Thoughts?

    I think peoples bankrolls arent really relevant. Whats relevant is the lack of satellite winners.

    People generally dont satellite into the 1500s (because there basically arent any online sats for them) so the field sizes year over year wont have fluctuated significantly.

    However online satellite packages have reduced significantly (primarily the big super sats) to the main. I expect the field sizes to be reduced significantly year over year.

    I agree that without US players winning as many WSOP packages from major poker sites the number will be around 5213.

    3200 registered so far already.

    and officials state they will break last year's 7319.

    Only like 897 players for Day 1a

    It has been reported that there is now 4000 players registered for the main

    Not quite 1000 today, less than 2000 for first two days. Last year they say Friday had 1400ish. If the 2500 player per day cap (this apparently was what happened when people got turned away from 1D a few years back, which I remember), now impossible that it will break last years numbers. 1500 on each other day left would still be impressive and would be extremely close to Dennis' guess.

    Andrew Feldman from ESPN on twitter reported over 5k have registered last night...likely to have 6k...unless capped.
