IF all the online sites follow Party's lead I think the number will be really low...somewhere around 1200-1500
Tons of internet qualifiers are not going to take the time to go out and play the one table and multitable satellites. Not to mention that because the prize pool will be lower that will depress the turnout which lowers the prize pool further which lowers the ...you get the picture
