At the WPT Championship $25,000 buy in going on right now at the Bellagio, the total entrants this year was 338, which is down from 545 last year. A huge drop off for one of the more prestigious titles in poker.
AFAIK, very few sites send qualifiers to the WPT Championship, so the drop off can't really be explained by that.
I'm wondering if the economy is beginning to hit some of the more well known poker players and keeping them away from a $25K buy in.
It should be interesting to see what the wsop's $40K NLHE buy in draws.
