But a question, I am going to be playing the 300 NL tourneys also, how many chips are the players starting out with? Thanks

The $330 events start with 1500 chips, 25-25 blinds, and 50 minute levels.

The website says 50 minutes, but it really is 40 minutes. They gave us 50 minutes for level 1 in the circuit event #1 $300+40, then they changed it to 40 minutes. Their SNG satellites were great on wednesday because they were in a rush to open the satellites so they accidentally gave 800 chips to every table/every type of satellite. But they fixed it yesterday ($45's start with 300 chips, $65's start with 500 chips and $120's start with 800 chips)

Anyway, I busted around 700, 99 lost to QQ and I was shortstacked

I plan on playing in one of the smaller events when the WSOP comes to Caesars IN. Just wondering how many people to expect playing in this event, and a guess at the payout structure. I know this is dependant on the number of players but just wanted a rough idea. Thanks for any help.

I played in the New Orleans and Tunica circuit $300 event and both were about 870 people, paying out top 72 (I think), 1st place was $66,000+
