Record Breaking Event...Officially

All the numbers are officially in and Event #2 of the World Series of Poker has broken all kinds of $1,500-event records. Event #2 broke the record for most players in attendance, outside of the Main Event, with 3,929 players, as well as a record-breaking prize pool with $5,363,085. The top 378 players will be paid, with 378th getting $2,949 and first place taking home a very nice purse of $831,462.

Many had predicted that this year's World Series of Poker would see a significant decrease in attendance, but thus far those predictions couldn't be further off.
