You heard it, the people who organize the World Series Of Poker are preparing for over 10,000 entrants to this years main event in World Series Of Poker. If they are correct, the number of players will increase with over 14 % from last years main event, which had a astonishing number of players participating in this event, 8,773 players.

An answer to this high number of players in World Series Of Poker could be partly because of the increase of the satellite tournaments that gives a seat in the main event in first prize. The people working with the World Series estimated that over half of the participants had won their seat in various satellite tournament.

This kind of tournaments give ordinary players a chance in the big league, just because some of the tournaments only cost a buck or two.

Further on, this will mean that the last grand prize of $12 million will grow even bigger.

Maybe I’ll try my luck, even if you don’t end up victorious, I bet you will get a life time experience, and a chance to play with the big guns in the poker circuit. Would it be anything more fulfilling making a bad beat on Phil Hellmuth for example. And hear him screaming what a bad player you are and so on. What a feeling I tell you, what a feeling.

What do you know, you or me may perhaps be the new Moneymaker, and if you never try, you will never suceed.
