Re: rio planning for 10,000 entries into main event
The article does say "Organizers said today that the number was for planning purposes only, and did not reflect confidence that last year's 8,773 entrants would be topped"
It seems like wishful thinking to me, but I guess you never know...

Re: rio planning for 10,000 entries into main event
I never really understood why everyone seems to believe the field will be smaller than last year. It might not break 10k but I fully expect it to come close. More B&M rooms appear to be sending entrants and I think the online satellite entrants will be up from last year too.
