wsop online qualifier count 5/10/2005: 1675 seats!

[ArseneLupin3 0]

5/10 - 1395 seats excluding partypoker's pre-may satellites. Estimating that party is satting in 60% as many as stars, excluding freerolls, we get another 280 seats for party, so I'm gonna go with 1675 seats at this time. It looks like about 100 seats are currently being awarded per week, so 2400 is still a good target.

It's not worth the time to investigate this further.Pacific: No info

In June FullTilt is having a guaranteed tournament for 30 WSOP main event seats, and a freeroll for 10 seats. They have also been having weekly freefrolls for new players for one seat since the beginning of April. Also there are other touranments, so there should be 60ish from FullTilt.The WSOP final event will be huge this year. The pros should be happy about all the dead money.
