I'll take the under on the 800 #.

2002 had 631 entrants. Under 800 in 2007 is only happening if the buy-in is raised to 50k.

FullTilt will send 5000+ players to the main event.

I still predict 9000+ entrants for the 2007 WSOP Main Event, as Harrah's would be incredibly stupid to leave the WSOP in Las Vegas when the online poker boom is in full force in Germany and France now and will hit both Italy and Spain in 2007, with Asia (China in particular) on deck in 2008.

One would have to expect Harrah's to move the WSOP to a place such as London, where Harrah's now controls the operation of a number of casinos after Harrah's acquires London Clubs International.

Eventually, Harrah's will have the option to move the WSOP to a place such as Macau S.A.R., China, the world's #1 gambling destination, after the number of Texas Hold'em players in Asia (China in particular) ramps up to a critical
mass. Harrah's reportedly is interested in purchasing 18% of Galaxy Entertainment, which operates casinos in Macau.

Oliver,

What is the largest # of players to play in big buy-in event overseas? Is it the EPT events? And if so how many players do they get?

The most for an EPT Main Event was 480, earlier this month in Barcelona.
