I would like to say that should be a very nice FT indeed, each one is a millionaireThe World Series of Poker Main Event recorded another milestone with 10,112 entries (71 players more than last year). To add to record-breaking numbers, this event brings the largest prize pool for a poker tournament of $94,041,600.00. The sponsor of the WSOP, Caesars Entertainment, grosses $7,078,400.00. That means 7% - WSOP gets 4.9% with 2.1% held for the dealers and staff.

I thought this year the total number of participants in the wsop main event would be smaller . Let's see next year how things will go , are we going to have a new record or no
I agree with you on your viewpoint. Some rules need to be revisited, amended or added.I think it's a toss up. Before the ending of the WSOP Main Event, I would have said yes, it would increase next year. But now with the controversy surrounding what happened, I'm not entirely sure. We still could, but probably not as big of a potential jump. I think the WSOP needs to address it and make the rules completely 100% clear on what is and isn't allowed on the rails.
