Re: WSOP 2008 hotel question
Venetian was getting about 500 entries for the $540 events, and I think around 300 for the $1060's. I don't know for certain how many they paid, but they usually pay the top 10%, so the payout was probably the top 4 or 5 tables.
The WSOP $1500 events had 1 hour levels. They are called 3 day events, but the first day knocks out the bulk of the people, the second day is short, and the third day just the final table. The Venetian events went till roughly 2 am the first day and final table the second day. I heard of a few times where the remaining prize pool was chopped at the end of the first day. Chopping was probably less prevalent at the WSOP because of the bracelet involved. I know that if I made a final at the WSOP I wouldn't chop it unless I was nearly dead.
