What could have been fair from the organizers then would be a setting a fee 10K per player they allowed in - person who knocks out one of these would get that 10K$ fee. Would that have been acceptable to all players who qualified?

John, I agree with your assessment. Ultimately it is the players fault if this happens. Yes, we do need to organize. I have been talking about forming a professional poker association to address tournament and poker issues. I have incorporated the World Poker Association in Nevada as a nonprofit for this purpose. A web site and organizational activities have been initiated. An announcement will be forth coming soon about membership. It is only through uniting as a group that we will be effective in addressing our needs and rights as poker players.
