Not that they would all be playing in the ME in the same year, but if you looked at all the players who made the final table at any large regional event, WSOP Circuit event, etc. with a field of 2000+ in the past 5 years, the list would be pretty long, and any one of them could be considered "capable" of winning (OK, maybe making the final table?) at the Main Event. Would be at least 1000+ names.
What percent of players in the Main have never made a final table at a big local tournament? Sure, some of them, but more than half?
All depends on what makes someone "capable."
