EACH LEVEL WILL LAST TWO HOURS.
However, in 2004, during most of the first two playing days (three calendar

Thanks...RGP is one place I've never visited.

Got a little more info... I'm playing next week in a couple of smaller WSOP circuit events.

For the $200 buyin, you start with T$800. Blinds start at 5/10, 40 min rounds.

$500 buyin, start with T$1000, 45 min rounds, 25/25 starting blinds.

The 500 buyin structure does not sound that great

I might be mistaken here but I think the circuit blind structures are different from main world series events that take place in july in vegas.

What about any information on the 2k or 3k buy in NL or limit HE events? I understand that you start with the number of chips the buy-in is for. But what about the blind structures for these tournies. I will hopefully be playing in the smaller events so I would like to know what to expect.
