Wow. That number just flat out plummeted.
The online poker craze hit...ESPN helped it along...a lot of people went to Vegas a couple years in a row and blew $10,000+ and then the economy collapses and those people figured out that blowing $10,000 isn't actually all that much fun.

I show
Buy In:
$10,000

$8,546,435

But yes, a big drop. I think it will hover around 3000-3500 for awhile.
