if it goes significantly (> 10%) under last year I will be really, really surprised.

I think live poker's as popular as ever but it's too tempting for someone who won a package online to just pay some bills instead and maybe come out to play a smaller event or satellite. LAPC main event was up 791 vs 692 in '06 without any online entrants, but still I'd be surprised if the total WSOP ME entrants exceeded 6,000. Then again, I had Federer to win the French and Woods to break par at Oakmont. Whiffed the former, nervous about the latter.
