How many would end up cashing if this was filled to the max?

And 11-handed? Blegh.

[Mr.JR]

I'm going to guess the pay all the winners of the 1st event, and then the final table.

Might pay top 3 of 2nd table.

No such problems; only about 600 players showed up. In fact, Harry Demetrieu was so displeased about how short-handed the tournament was at the start (six-handed) that he acted up so much that he was ejected(!!).

Indeed:

Harry Demetrieu, displeased with the short-handed format for today's shootout, starts shouting, "I want my money back right now!" The crowd starts cheering. Mike Matusow shouts, "I'm with you, Harry!" Harrah's employees approach Demetrieu and give him a thirty minute penalty after he shouts that he wants to withdraw and that "It's disgraceful." Soon after, he is ejected from the tournament by Harrah's and cannot return to play. As he's led out of the room, he continues to shout that he's "absolutely disgusted" and "I have been thrown out of the tournament for objecting!"

N/M had to go back and read the website for details on the shootout.

Holy shiz! 200k?? That has to be a missprint. All events except for 2 of them were dollar for dollar starting chips.

[/ QUOTE ]

i would imagine that blinds increase across the 3 days. hence the 2k in starting chips on day 1, 20k starting chips on day 2, and 200k on day 3.

200k x 10 players = ~ total chips in play for a 1,000 player field.
