Eight-Three-Four
Level 11
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Registration is closed here on Day 1a of the 2012 Horseshoe Hammond Main Event, and the total number of entrants is 834. Last year, when the tournament was changed to a re-entry format for the first time, Day 1a attracted a total of 912 runners. In the end, 1615 players registered.
This year there is an 8.5% decline on Day 1a, but with Day 1b tomorrow and registration open until the cards are in the air on Day 2, this field will no doubt cross the four-figure mark, generating another massive prize pool for the WSOPC.
