Re: Not!

If Greg Raymer says "Meh....doesn't really turn me on." you can be sure that Negreneau, Ivey, Lederer, Ferguson or Greenstein or others may be thinking the same thing.

No criticism at all meant of Greg for not playing. I think some of the players you mentioned and probably Brunson and Hanson will see the big entry fee and small field as making this more EV+. Some of these and other pros will be ego-driven to attend. I expect there will be a very strong field. It may not attract as many top pros as the WSOP and WPT Champ, but it will have a higher percentage of top pros.
It is possible one reason they are not that interested in promoting it is that they want to keep the field strong, which may not be the best approach.
