WSOP waffle, news & goss - Day 1. Slow start to series?

It's way too early to identify a trend, but from the little evidence available, numbers looked decidedly thin on Day 1.
The Casino Employees NLH, which always opens the Series & of which nobody cares a dot, made 685 entries at the last WSOP in 2019. Yesterday? 419.
The $25,000 HORSE attracted 73 entries so far (registration remains open overnight) with 47 left.
We get a big clue though from Event 3 which was the $1,000 NLH Covid Charity event which attracted just 260 entries. Has a $1,000 WSOP NLH ever attracted fewer runners? I doubt it. Was a pretty fast structure too, it only started at 6pm but is down to just 5 runners. Seems more like a novelty event tbh.

Event # 3, $1,000 NLH Covid Charity event
The 5 remaining runners are;
1 Jesse Lonis US 2,285,000 421 1
2 Jeremy Ausmus US 1,395,800 421 5
3 Steve Gross US 485,000 421 4
4 Mitchell Halverson US 385,000 421 3
5 Asher Conniff US 75,000 421 2
Here's Jeremy Ausmus, who sits in 2nd. He has over 70 WSOP cashes, & won a WSOP-E bracelet at PLO in 2013.
Event # 2, $25,000 HORSE
47 players remain, including, remarkably, Mike Matusow.
Not too many Brits are in Vegas, but there's a handful in this including Adam Owen, Matthew Ashton & Benny Glaser. Plenty of well-known names still in the hunt here.

Ah, thanks @Swog
I'm still unsure if this is going to be worth the effort, but 'll give it a go for a few days & see how it goes for views & replies.
Anyone care to predict who might win this $25,000 HORSE?
More easy, who do you WANT to see win it?
Last longer winner between Hellmuth & Negreanu?
Bit of needle on twitter.
That's spooky, just seen that Tweet & was about to post it. Some cracking comments.
Wow. 73 entries. Bragging about a top 5 Day 1. Shaun Deeb to your left today. He will break you. Glad you had a fun day though.
They give out prizes after day 1??

Shaun Deeb & You-Know-Who....
"THE WAIT IS OVER"
Really?
+1
That's the plan guys. Most days it will appear in the evening, due to a) time difference & b) as I don't really have time to do it earlier.
