There were so many people entering this year’s World Series of Poker events that it started a debate among the crew of Vegas based professional players about whether any of them would ever again win a WSOP bracelet.

They just couldn’t believe how many people they were going to have to beat to get on any one of the 45 final tables from the events making up the WSOP.

With the move to the Amazon Room at Las Vegas’ Rio Hotel and Casino, more than 29,000 players stepped up to the felt to compete for in excess of 3 million in prizes that were awarded over the six-week period.
