Harrah's has announced the WSOP schedule (sorry if it's already been posted): WSOP announcement (http://investor.harrahs.com/news/20041025-146418.cfm)
(Link is fixed now, if you tried it earlier)
I'd post the actual schedule, but it seems to be an image. I'll try to find a text version.

Are the 6-max events new? I don't recall them from past years. Very interesting.

Can anyone explain the blind structure of the one-day NLHE events? Like the main event(2 hour levels?), or does it escalate faster?

Starts pretty late this year. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
they're new, they're a take off of the Showdown at the Plaza tournament which was 6 handed from 36 players on.

You start w/ chip for chip, so if the buyin is 1500, you get 1500 in chips. Levels are 1 hour. Blinds go like this: 25/25, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 100/200(25), etc. This is for NLHE events. PLHE doesn't have antes and I haven't played anything besides these two types of events. Any full level that starts at the final table is 90 minutes. Hope this helps.

it looks like there are "side" tournaments to the main event. I think thats a first in WSOP history.
Looks like they are expecting 3000-6600

Thanks for the answer on the blind structure.
From your experience, how are these one-day tournaments on the luck/skill scale? Higher starting chips and slower levels in the main event maximizes skill. In the lower buy-in events, do the blinds create pressure quickly and force luck to take over too early?
I don't think so, in the PL event, we played almost 4 full levels w/o losing a single player and nobody was in a spot where they were forced to go in. I think the structure is really good in these tournaments.

they did them last year, but they were not announced w/ much notice. We found out about them like a week before the main event.

From what I recall, I think there was a money chop when it got down to three players
Maybe it was the final hand that was the key one /images/graemlins/shocked.gif
