So you are saying Cardplayer is lying about the list the WSOP released to the media?

I realize more could still register, but I don't think the WSOP is releasing false media reports.

that's exactly not what i said in any way shape or form.

i said that the 1,250 is a speculative #. i didn't realize it was released to them by the WSOP, but even then it doesn't include alternates.

if i had to guess, i would estimate they get at least 1,500 to 1,600 today, just based on how many alternates usually seem to get in to this event on the first day.

Fair enough....with alt.'s it will go up above the released figure.

Why would they need Alternates when they still have tables free?

Idiotic. The final table is going to be stupid.

Hellmuth posts the big blind of eleventy million dollars...

Of course, this is at least a small part of why they did this. Now whether or not they exceed last years numbers, the pots will be bigger.

They can say things on TV like "this is the biggest pot in WSOP history!"

WTF are you kidding?
He just ran a little bad. Some lousy variance. It happens.
Obviously ElD can make the case that Madsen is still the best.

On a board reading on the turn, Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf moved all in for 15,100 and got TWO callers. Woolf turned up , one opponent showed 8-8 for top set, and the other held pocket aces. The river was the , and Woolf's wheel took down the 50,000 pot

Wait, people are in the tent? I thought the point of expanding it to a fourth starting day was for "comfort".
