Well, if JD were playing in it, then HELL YA! I'd be rooting for him. But since he's only playing in tomorrows $2600 ME (hopefully!), I can root for him tomorrow.

I wonder why they even bother to "guarantee" money for these things. I mean, $100k guaranteed for a $5000 event? Were they really expecting less than 20 players???

With 175 players registered, the prize pool is $875,000. If they had guaranteed $1 million, I'll bet there still wouldn't have been an overlay, and even if there was, SO WHAT? They can afford it.

Glancing through the field now - that is one sick list. That hs to be the highest % of pros I've ever seen in an online tourney.

The best thing about this tourney is the complete lack of Observer Chat.

Agreed. By guaranteeing the $1M instead of $100K there probably would have been a lot more entrants.

Table 3 or something like that was just sick. I recognized 4 of the 8 players as being well respected players in the online/B&M realms.

I see you're railing as well. I would wish them luck if I could...

I just stopped by and sai GL to a few people. I'll rail tonight when it's more interesting (Final Table, for sure). It's way too early right now. The standings have hardly even changed, and I don't think anyone is even remotely close to busting... The chip leader has only added about 25% to his stack.

I wasn't bragging. Rob brought it up and I explained.
