Lets just say people have 100k in it, it will be very intense. And a chance to lead the all time money earnings will be interesting. Even if someone is in there with a 5% freeroll, they are still trying to win close to a million. Cant wait for this event. July 1!
It more of a publicity stunt then it is an actual tournament... Trust me these guys would much rather win the 50k players championship or a regular event than this. Sure they want to win but its not near important to these guys than a regular bigger event. This will be a show, charity, and tax write off for 98% of these players.
