Re: Will this year\'s ME have more entrants than next year?
The only reason I see it shrinking next year is if they raise the buy-in.
I really, really think they should do this BTW. The ME buy-in hasn't moved an inch in 36 years. Harrah's probably doesn't want to do this because they don't want to see a drop in entrants, but it's pretty difficult to maintain the spot as "prestige" tourney of the year when the buy-in is less than half that of the WPT season final - hell, even the PP million is going to have a bigger buy-in next year.
Uping the ME to 25k would thin the field a bit, make the tourney more manageble for Harrahs, and maybe allow them to get away from the multi-first day format.
