It really depends, like negreanu mentioned the event is not very prestigous nemore and is just about the money. At 10K buyin, you can get a lot more amateurs playing than if it was 50K. gotta love dead money

I thnk we can all agree on 10,000, since that got a plurality of the votes.

How about we agree it is NOT $10,000 since that got a majority of the votes.

For sure. Basically stupid/bad players should be discouraged to play. That will surely help the games overall and bring many new players online to sats/cash games. This will also surely ensure only good players win because when the stakes are higher luck doesn't matter as much. Good idea.

You people will be whining about a 5,000 person donkament if they go up to $50K next year instead of a 10,000 person donkament. Honestly, I've never seen a group of pros moan about players handing you their money more.

Unless you want to make the event a, lets say three month affair, with blinds 5 and 10 and level two coming at the second day of play you will never just identify the best player. All that will happen is that the most open world championship of anything will be a little less open. When the entry fee itself approaches life changing money for competitors again, you'll lose a lot of tourists and nits and get even more reckless players. I honestly don't know what you hope to accomplish with this price increase except make the WSOP less profitable for a lot of good players.
