WSOP 50K Buy in

[arod15]

Am I alone in thinking the main event should be a 50K buy in. I was discussing with my friend and argued that it was 10K back in 1979. Not that i did the math just by simple inflation in my mind it should be 50K. I mean the WPT chapionship is 25K so why shouldnt the most prestigious event in the world cost more? In my mind it would be more exciting to watch 500 of the best players play for the title than have a 6000+ field shootout. If it were 50K there would be very little dead money as most people would have had to win multiple step tournaments to entry and wealthy people would think twice. Just my thoughts.
