According to my calculations, theres going to be something like 4700 players in this tournament. Anyone even going to bother with a field this big?

maybe the same people will bother that "bother" to enter the 5,000 person stars million field?

With 5k in the million, at least 750 players got some money back. 150 is about 3% of the field.

Or the same people that bother to enter the 8000 entrees WSOP ME in the first place?

The buy-in is $350, the prize is $11,000. Hey, that's about 3%!!!

And 150th pays the same as 1st.

Don't forget the overlay in form of PokerStars providing hotel.

I was going to ask this question. Then I thought, "Hey maybe these guys won't see the tournament and I can walk away with it!" Thanks, thanks a lot.

"World Series of Poker main event packages ($12,000 per package value)."

Hotel included in "price", is not an overlay.
