Let’s break it down. An overlay is the difference between the cash pool generated by buy-ins and the guarantee offered by the house. That difference spells value, sought after by all calculating poker players. It means that by playing such an event, the dollar equity associated with your investment goes up, thus diminishing or even obliterating the vigorish charged by the house.
161 players have answered the overlay call so far, which seems more and more like a sure thing. Can this Event round up 142 more players? Few people think so.
