Monster, Monster Stack

7862 Unique players. No re-buys, no re-entries. Two flights in one day and several waves added. Everybody started with a full stack. Those who began the day at either 1:00 or 5:00 PM started with the blinds at 25-25.  Later "waves" which began as late as 10:40 PM started with their 15,000 chip stack at whatever level the 5 PM flight was at. Even at level 5, the start of the last wave, the blinds were still at just 100-200 with no ante.

The $1500 entry Monster Stack Tournament at this year's WSOP generated the largest ever field of unique players for a single starting day at a poker tournament.  The prize pool of over $10 million gives $1.3 million to the winner.
