36,947 entrants so far i think this tourney could reach the max of 100,000 players, if it does its gonna be a very long game to reach the top 5 for the prize,
im not really up to this tourney, the thought of playing this for at least 10 to 20 hours may be more , is off putting what a blag..........................
Im tempted but its one in the morning. Staying up till 5 in the morning to start what would likely end up being a 10 hour session to just lose out would drive me nuts.
Thinking about that i think its lucky i wont be able to play.
Just getting to the top 1000 would be a massive achievement. And knowing my luck i would get to about 100th and self destruct. And i would be a tornado of destruction for a few days before i could calm down

The average stack with 5 players left (Based on 38 000 participants) will be 11 400 000 chips
But i actually think it will take MUCH less then 12 hours when it is turbo ... after 3h of play the blinds will be 50K/100K ... and after another hour BB will be over a million. So its almost impossible for the tournament to last even 5 hours ...

Imagine explaining to others in main even how you got the ticket. ala - I went all in and all over again and then 4 hours later it was already final table and then it was bongo because everyone had like 6 big blinds average and I managed to win it with luck. Ohh did I already mentioned the buy in was 1$

Ok. It's starting in 5 min... 42.000 runners so far, will likely increase dramatically in the next half hour. I'm up for it! Fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, limp, fold, fold, fold etc... for the first 2 hours... Wish me luck!
