With registration closed and the second of two starting days well under way, this year's Millionaire Maker has officially drawn a field of 7,275 players. The field for the third iteration of the tournament settles in right between the first two.
In 2013, the World Series of Poker rolled out the very first $1,500 buy-in with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool, and 6,343 entrants flocked to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino to participate. After a four-day grind, Benny Chen emerged from what was at the time the largest single-day starting field in WSOP history to take down just under $1.
