Record number of players have participated through the 54 preliminary events but you know that because you read my earlier post. Just in case you didn’t you can Review here.Â
With the 54 Events complete the numbers seem to indicate that once again the Main Event will have a new record number of players to report when all is said and done. But, registration for the Main Event through July 3rd was at around 2,500 players reported on Pokerati so Harrah’s has a long way to go to match last years high water mark.
The number of players registered and the 1st place prize payout will be the focus of much discussion over the next few days.
