Pollack is pretty defensive
"We've been running hard since June 1," said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series of Poker for Harrah's Entertainment. "But the World Series is unique in its ability to capture the world's attention."
Pollack said he would not speculate about whether the main event will approach last year's record 8,773 entrants.
He said the final total "doesn't matter" because of the event's long history and because it is still considered the top poker tournament in the world.
"We've been around for a long time," Pollack said. "We've grown very organically within the poker community."
