So how many Europeans will be on the final table of WSOP!!!
What a cool question. Got me realising I don't know much geography (my geography is reallly bad!)
So I started by getting an idea for how many Europeans there are in the world..
From this article here...
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population)
So currently Europe is about 10% of the world's population.
Really interesting to note that projections are that % of world population that will be European in 150 years will be halved! The only two regions that are showing a projected increase in 150 years compared with today are Latin America (0.8%) and Africa +8%!
So a nice little lesson in world population I now know Europeans account for about 10% of the world population and Asia accounts for a whopping 60% of the world total population. Thanks to this competition.
So based on this I could make a very rough estimate and say 10% of the final table will be European so one player out of nine. But this seems like a really bad estimate, because the whole world doesn't play poker.
So I decided to take another tact using HeroScore :)
I looked at the Hero Score table for WSOP all time earners here:
and I added up how many people in the top 100 were European. Now as I said at the top of this article my geography wasn't great! So I used this article to check the nationalities of the top 100 players to figure out if they were in Europe or not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe
Along my travels I learnt that Russia is in Europe (yeah my geography really is / was that bad!!!! :P )
I also got to learn some flags (for anyone that wants to improve their flag / country knowledge I reccomend exploring these tables, it's kind of fun)
Also a surprising fact was that I found out that a huge 73! of the top 100 all time earners are American.
Finally I added up the total number of European in the top 100 of the Ranking Hero WSOP all time money list
So 16% of the top 100 all time earners for WSOP are European!
So I'm going to round this up in the spirit of optimism and go for 2 Europeans on the final table!

Hi!
Here is the 3rd question of the Guessing Game: http://www.rankinghero.com/fr/players/530947/Elena.RKH/activity/2513244.html#activity
The EPT and European game is much stronger and in general the players are really good at mid-high range.
I therefore predict coverage of 5 nations and I believe 6 players on the final table will be European.
I also predict a European winner.
