I was also disappointed with the removal of the $125 but understand it was not feasible due the earlier start. The $350 looks to be a nice tournaments at the end. Would like you to again consider changing the payouts for the large guaranteed non ring re-entry events to 10%. I understand why it is at 5% and agree with the premise, just not the solution.
My proposition: Make the large field guaranteed tournaments like the colossus whereby payouts start on day 1 and you can cash in multiple flights.
Pros: The WSOP believes (and I agree) that larger number of cashes are amateur friendly. Amateurs are the fuel that feeds the pros and builds large fields. This should speed up action once the bubble bursts. More action means more bust outs which should lead to better initial stack to blind ratios for day 2 play. (Stack sizes throughout day 2 were terrible in the last $125 guaranteed) This format would also encourage re-entries in subsequent flights. Those players who min cashed will be more likely to jump into the next flight if they have something to show for their many hours of effort.
Cons: Will require staff to be setup to process payouts late on day 1. Anyone have cons to add?

Reason: Added non ring for clarity
