Are There Stars in This Galaxy?

We may be seeing a trend start to emerge with these "small" buy in No Limit Hold Em events. Yesterday, this reporter noted a slight, but noticable drop in 'big' names in the tournament. This could easily have been attributed to the 5pm H.O.R.S.E. event that many of them were going to play. Today, at least in one walk around the Amazon Room, this is even more noticable. Where you can usually go two or three tables and recognize someone, sometimes today it took me 10.

Make no mistake, there are 'name' players in the room today, but unless they are all out in the tent, or the other rooms that are hosting tables today, there are fewer than one would normally see in one of these events. Maybe day two of the H.O.R.S.E. event is contributing to this.
