What percentage of people in the WSOP ME have 100% of their action?

Obviously there's no way to know for sure, but what's your guess? $10k isn't a fortune, but it's not exactly pocket change for most folks. Is it common for players to be staked? Is it common for players to trade pieces with friends?
On a similar note, do you think there are more people who satellite in than who buy in directly?
Last question. Let's say you run pretty deep and get an offer to wear an 888 patch or some other company. What type of compensation are you looking at? I'm assuming it scales based on how deep you get?

I'd say the majority given it's full of rec's

8% of the field is my guess. Everyone sells or swaps.

2nd place guy had 100% of himself from Doug Polk vlog.
no one can really estimate the actually number unless you ask every single person who played the main.

Well, if we consider the poker vloggers (small sample size) all of them at least a few % swapped, other than Negreanu. He noted that he had 100% of himself in all WSOP events. Even then, he had some built in hedging with his fantasy league.
I bet 75% of players have less than 95% of themselves. Not sure how many are selling like 50% though. Jeff Gross bought a 50% piece of one of his fans, which is just amazing to me. No way I would risk $5,000 on some random guy.
