Saturday for sure. Field will be softer and bigger. I hope the main gets over a 1000 players with the lagging numbers this year. The WSOP brand has been diluted at Choctaw by adding all these series. See below for gradual dropoff in the January main since adding the second WSOP series and 2 WPT series. Adding a third WSOP series is only going to make it worse. The January WSOP main has always been a DFW "Major" and Choctaw, PE and WSOP need to do whatever it takes to keep it that way with all the money being made off this market.
2016-1565 players and $393,000 to first
2017-1451 players and $375,000 to first
2018-1249 players and $332,000 to first
2019-1000 players and $270,000 to first??????
