With regards to Europe the 1998 Nordic Open had 525 participants in five flights. AFAIK the World Championships has never been above the 500 mark. The tournament in Istanbul also had quite high numbers around that time, but I have no specifics on that.
If you count events held over a longer period of time in various locations then the Carlsberg Cup was without a doubt the largest tournament in the world. I can't seem to find any exact numbers, but around 4000-5000 is probably about right.
