WPT event starts on Day 2 of WSOP and ends on day 7 of WSOP...

I guess if you dont make it past Day 1 of WSOP you shoot on over to the Bellagio for the start of the WPT event...

Will this effect the WPT event turnout?

Um, isn't the WPT main event a $25,000 buy-in. This must be just some other Bellagio WPT tournament.

Yes. The WPT Championship was in April. The Bellagio, Borgata, Foxwoods and others have multiple events. I like the scheduling. I am interested to see if the WPT event is bigger due to the sheer volume of people in town or if it is a ghost town with everyone at the WSOP.
