WCOOP on Stars; Question about prize pools

[pipes]

Last year, were there enough entrants to go above the guaranteed prize pools?

For example, the gpp for event#3 is $200,000. But the number of entrants thus far is 300 and the buy in is 200+15.

Is it really expected that there will be 1,000 entries for this?

What about the other events? Just curious if someone remembered from last year.

Thanks

Last years guaranteed pools can be viewed here:

The actual prize pools from last years events are on this page:

Every event exceeded the guarantee I believe.

For example, the gpp for event#3 is $200,000. But the number of entrants thus far is 300 and the buy in is 200+15.

Is it really expected that there will be 1,000 entries for this?

I would imagine a lot of people will pay the buy-in just before the event. A lot of those already registered will have won seats via satellites.
