Numbers

The official numbers are in. They sold out the tournament at 630 players for a prizepool of $189,000. Quite a bit over the $100k guarantee.

The $2000 satellite into the Main Event will top 300 players before the list is locked. I see quite a few players that I recognize from the Borgata Summer Open Main Event and blogger friend NewinNov is sitting at Table 1. About 5 feet from my seat on media row. Barry Leventhal is in the house.

They can't give me the current numbers entered into the Main Event but I have it on good authority that the field will be monstrous and they will blow past the $5,000,000 guarantee.
