Huge field 113,000 players, wow. This must have had last at least 8 or 9 hours, if not more. I believe this tourney atracted many people because for those who would be doing their first deposit there, they won a ticket to this tourney. So many of the players could have money experience in other tables, but not in there. The final table guys should be players with nice experience.

Not only giving a new name but also raising up the guaranteed price pool from 250k to 1 million. And you can buy in for $11. I guess these are the reasons why such a hugh amount of players joined in, dreaming about make it to final table.

Lol, only 9 hours. I know I bought in using the free ticket code. (I already had a play money account there from a long time ago so I figured I'd try out the big money tourney. Won $22.75.
