By the Numbers

We have just received the final numbers from the tournament staff, and it's 169 players who have entered today's flight. We are told there are already 130 runners on the list for tomorrow, and that number is growing fast. Most of the direct buy-ins are coming to play tomorrow as well, and there is still one big mega-satellite that will run tonight. If the numbers hold, we are bound to have at least 400 total players here in the Main Event. Last year's event drew 428 entrants, and we hope to eclipse that number here in 2008.
