Re: 100 vs 6500
 

I saw a thread earlier that put it around 3,700 currently if I remember correctly. Here's the link:

But David Williams over Raymer? If your concern is a track record, that one doesn't make much sense to me.

Hasn't Williams made more TV final tables?

I'm pretty sure I'd want Raymer on my 100 list before Tuan Le.

Raymer was a pretty close alternate.

Sklansky is dead weight on your list in comparison with Raymer (no offense David). Sklansky doesn't play the megalo- stack-building style that one will need to make a final table of 10 people out of 6500. Even money, I would take Sklansky to finish higher than Raymer. But all else being equal I would take Raymer to catch the final table over Sklansky.

So if that's not wrong then the chances of there not being a single name from my list at the final table would come to [(6500/6800)(6499/6799)(6498/6798)(6497/6797)(6496/6796)(6495/6795)(6494/6794)(6493/6793)(6492/6792)], or [66.6%].

Am I wrong?

I did the calculations myself and get the same result. Of course I don't know if your method of adding 300 to the total players is correct. But either way it doesn't make a huge difference in the calculation. Just a couple percentage points.

Re: 100 vs 6500
 

i would wager one of those fellows will make the final table. look at the final tables of the recent events, there's like 4 or 5 of those guys at each of them. granted the fields are smaller, but still i'm quite confident one of them will make it.

My money is on the list.
If -none- of the Big Guns make it to the final table then the ME is too large.

It would absolutely astonish me of none of those pros made the final table.

I agree.

Maybe they should raise the entry fee to 25k next year?
