Well there is news on that front as well. Apparently the WSOP is not going to be accepting internet qualifiers next year. An online site will not be able to buy you into the event next year. Now they can certainly just run satellites that give you enough money to buy yourself in, but supposedly history shows that when you give a player the cash rather than buy their seat they almost always just keep the cash.
I'd imagine the main event field will still be large next year, but probably a good ways dwon from the 8000+ this year.
