i still think today has been the worst display of poker that i've seen in six weeks of being in vegas

you still have at least 3 more days Tassie.

A couple of end of day counts...

Leo Boxell - 72,450
Gary Benson - 32,800
Mel Judah - 51,275
Manny Stavropoulos - 14,300

Well done guys, there might be others who we missed, so apologies to those who we missed or moved.

Such a tiny field, and they have completely locked out 1c and 1d entries until 4pm the day prior. Even talked to TD 2IC (because Jack had left) and he said he literally wouldnt/couldnt open it, and that Jack wouldnt be saying any different. Annoys the shit out of me, because if somehow I get locked out of 1d then I miss out, but dont really want to play day 1c, guess 2nd place money in every tournament isn't enough for Harrahs to have things set up properly for once..

Such a tiny field, ..

pretty sure its up substantially on last year's Day 1a numbers

[thret]

no one is simply EVER stacking off pre without AA/KK that deep on day 1 of a 10k live event, in which case I should be 4bet bluffing and always flatting QQ for value.

+1, exceptions to this rule should be obvious.

Does the size of the field make any difference to your Day 1? Seems like 1A is probably the softest day and the rest are likely fairly similar as none are on the weekend. Maybe 1A was a little soft due to Independence hangovers/long weekends for working peoples?

Yep, up a massive NINE players on Day 1a last year, which amassed a field of 1,116 players! It was Day 1b that had the small field last year due it actually being played on the 4th of July (only 873).

Good luck to all you PNW folks - may there be shippage!

oh, so I was right. Sweet.

[Choppa]

Absolutely, a 0.8% swing is massive imo. Besides, I don't recall you ever being wrong!

[thret]

"Beth Shak got her whole stack into the middle with QQ. An opponent was right there to greet Shak's big pair with his nuts."

I think F-Train enjoys his job a little too much sometimes.

[TurnRiva]

So if I was expecting the field to be substancially bigger this year, then I should expect how many runners?
