As expected Day 1C was a much bigger field than either 1A or 1B. Estimates for tomorrow’s Day 1D are all over the board with many predictions of over 2,000. To match last year’s Main Event total the magic number is 1,985.

Lots of name professionals are playing tomorrow and plenty of other players are coming in after spending the Fourth of July with family and friends. So, “close” will be the operational word tomorrow for all of those over/under wagers on the total runners in the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event.
