The number of entrants for the 50K HORSE was at an all time low this year, with just 95 players entering.   Perhaps this is reflective of the economic climate rubbing off a little on the poker world.   Even 11 time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth is not in the field, although he does have an excuse as he is in the final 30 or so players of the $1500 PLO event.
