the $2,500 events all the way to the 5k's accomplish nothing. The same people play these as the $10k's. The $1k and $1,500 are where you get the recreational players (and the $1k's are pointless too as a bunch of the $1,500's get bigger fields). I say make everything on the schedule $1,500's and $10k's , and keep the Poker players Championship and other special events like the Seniors, Ladies, etc
