Notes about Honeybee's win
Many of you know that Honeybee is Mrs. DrBass - but now with her big win - I'm proud to be Mr Honeybee. Congrats to her. There were nine rounds in the tournament - five for qualifying and four for the finals. Finals had approx 180players, which means that there probably were 30 freerolls - each sending 6 to the final rounds. If Thrash's estimate of 1000 per freeroll is correct - then the number of competitors would be close to 30,000! (there were 1170 players in her qualifying tournament). I'd guess, if Guiness kept records on such things, it might be a record for the number of players in a single blackjack tournament.
