Eastgate won it with 19 years old? I have a portuguese friend who won a $2k WSOP entry playing online poker three years ago and the room told him he wouldn't be able to get the entry because he didn't had the minimum age requirement to play poker in USA, which is 21 years old...

hope the trend of high participation continues in the main event too and lets see if any of the big players make the final table. daniel had too much of bad luck maybe he'll do good in final event.
Well, main event has 4 starting days so it's very possible, that there will be more players than last year and maybe even there will be a new ME record I really don't know who can win it - everyody can! A lot of great players will play in ME, it's just awesome tournament I only hope that FT & the winner will be the best player in that even, not some toolbox xD

It's nice to see there is so much interest in the world series of poker main event, i mean it always attracted many players actually but given the current circumstances, i mean that us players can't play on pokerstars on ftp, it was a possibilty for the participation to be less, but it seems people are still interested in poker and live events
And yes, lets hope that some top players will end in the top eventually, Daniel Negreanu it's just one of them, but i would also want to se more from tom dwan and phil hellmuth actually, maybe it's time for anoter bracelet or him too
