Are the WPT tourneys still growing?
 

I've been concentrating on cash games and have been out of the loop lately... Are the WPT tournaments still growing much from year to year, or are they leveling off?

Attendance at Paris was down, attendance at LA was slighly up. It seems to be levelling off.

Just a hunch, but I'd expect WPT attendence to level off or even dip a bit this year. Not from any dropoff in poker popularity, but from the increased competition of the WSOP circuit. Plenty of people can only afford to play a very limited number of these events a year (or play in a limited number of satellite), and may choose to play one of the WSOP events instead if it's closer. Also, some of the tournaments are directly competing against each other, which will drop attendence at each.

They probably are coming close to physical capacity limits as well?
