They really plan to charge the players an entry fee for this nightmare? I would not even play in a 35.000 player freeroll .

Well I'm in already. $5 to play for a share of $500000 it's fantastic value with the winner getting $81000. I'll happily play for 10+ hours for that kind of money. Doubt if I'll be that lucky though but i'm gonna try
