Here's a comparison of the # of entrants from 2005 to 2006 for some other events:

Event/2006/2005
$1500 NLHE 2776 vs 2305
$5000 NLHE 622 vs 466
$2500 6-Max NLHE 824 vs 548

I think there will be over 7K in the ME, mainly because of the huge number of online qualifiers this year.

A year ago people were saying poker had hit its peak and that a downturn would certainly come this year. These three tournaments have increases from 20% to 50%.

I think we'll get the same claims that poker has peaked after this year's WSOP. But, I think they'll be proven wrong again in 2007.
