More Than the First Two WSOPs
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu commented on the number of players listed on the clock, which currently reads 26. That's a low number no doubt, but as Tournament Director Jack Effel pointed out: "This is more players than the first two World Series combined."
Indeed, those two events drew six players apiece, so we're already more than double that. Effel was clearly joking knowing full well that the number in this high buy-in event is sure to grow as players continue to filter in and late registration remains open through Level 8.
