I have been playing hold'em since 2004 and until now the biggest tourney I ever played was a 45 man sng(excluding po free rolls of course) Yesterday I bought a ticket on bovada to play a 6 man sng, which if I won I would be entered into a 5k gtd tourney. There were 297 players and I finished 12th, didn't make the final table but took home a modest 85$ with a free ticket, and gained some experience in tourneys with large fields.
