Default Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)

[ QUOTE ]
Slight sidetrack:

In 2005 I believe there were less than 6,000 players. All 9 players at the final table won at least $1 million. In 2007 there are over 6,000 and the million doesn't start until the top 5.

Is this correct, and if so, why?

theres a thread on this somewhere

basically, they redid the payout structure to pay out more to the bottom of cashing players... better for the greater good, but a few less millionares
