Re: Poker (Biz) by the Numbers

Like the US Poker Championship, the Ultimate Bet Aruba Classic lost its TV deal (with the WPT) … Have a look at how its field size has changed over the years:

2002 – ??
2003 – ??
2004 – 647 players (Eric Brenes d. Layne Flack)
2005 – 647 players (Freddy Deeb d. Josh Schlein)
2006 – 512 players (Devin Miller d. \”JohnnyBax\”)
2007 – 548 players (\”TravestyFund\” d. Jim Mordue)
