in other words, 31 people didn't survive last year's shootout.

Had 400 runners last year. so about an 8% decrease. Turnout has been down in every event thus far.

Players can't afford with the rising costs of vegas anymore?

I don't think so. It is $10 US per month if you want to watch WSOP events but per PokerGo you can opt out by calling a phone number. I am in for $20, June and July, which covers the WSOP and then I will go from there.

I am not sure what the deal with WSOP and PokerGo is but on the WSOP website there doesn't appear to be a word about PokerGo and all the live links are to 2016 tables. I find that odd. You would think the two would have negotiated some kind of marketing/linking deal. Otherwise those wanting live stuff will have to find it on their own.

I think the answer is no.

There is an active NVG thread on the PokerGO service that has the relevant information.

What are the rules in this tag team? How would it ever be a good idea for Igor to tag Liv in for example? Is there a limit on how many levels one can play?

Each player is only required to play one orbit (one round round of blinds").

Lol, thanks for the laugh, hoping to survive this year's series myself. On my way to the airport in a few hours

Is that surprising? No real tv coverage anymore and the lack of many real 'dead money' players and it will continue to get lower turnouts every year. Sure a couple of events will be huge but generally speaking it's a far far cry from the boom years.

Nothing would make this event better, it's just a stupid unnecessary dumb event.

If it makes money for the Rio, it's not a dumb event.

Plenty of people railing this event, and spending money while at the Rio.

And the AA belonged to Paul Snead. I guess he didn't have him.

DNegs bracelet bet off to a flying start, team is first of six with a healthy chip lead over team Boree.

Unfortunately, there's no live stream of the final table.

I like the idea of playing the event non-stop, you could do 6 hour rotations for each teammate. Also, only being required to play 1 orbit is quite laughable. At the very least make it 1 full level.

Always nice to see a 1k/2k NL cash game on the bravo app at 4:30am at the Rio.

The $1,500 O8 ended up with 905 here is a look of numbers from years past

2017: 905
2016: 934
2015: 918
2014: 1,036

Today is the start of the Colossus. I think this is the first true temperature reading for poker. How many Joe Pokers will show up this year?

2016: 21,613
2015: 22,374

Agreed. This event can so easily be improved. Make it a 24 hour event or make it mandatory to rotate players each level. The current rules are incredibly lame. There's very little "team" to it.
