Chip Structure for WSOP

#1 10-10-2005, 02:47 PM

Anyone know what the starting chip structure is for the WSOP main event.. like how many chips you get, the values, and even the begininning blind structure is.. I am wanting to setup a tournament and try to copy it after the WSOP, so i kinda wanna know how many chips ill need to buy

Click on the event you want for the structure.

25/50 blinds, 10k chips for each person. I don't know in what denominations, and it doesn't really matter that much. Blinds go like this:

25/50
50/100
100/200
100/200/25
150/300/25
200/400/50
250/500/50
300/600/75

And so on. I'm too lazy to post the rest. I got this info from:

just know the tourney will take a damn long time (maybe you already know that.) unless the levels are not 2 hrs like the wsop.

if you really want the exact chip structure -- each player started with 23 chips that equaled 10,000

8 - $25 chips (green)
8 - $100 chips (black)
4 - $500 chips (pink)
2 - $1k chips (yellow)
1 - $5k chip (light blue?)

Each of these chips had squares (sort of, more like trapezoids with one round edge) on the edges that were a second color.

The yellow chips had black trim at 1000. Later chips (can't remember if they were 10k or 25k) were black with yellow trim and were put into action after the 1k chips were removed.

The light blue chips had pink trim for 5k.

Wow... 2 hour levels! It's going to be some adjustment coming from the online MTT world to try my hand at the WSOP this year. I won't even be able to do division that high to calculate how many BBs I have in my stack.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

The levels were only 100 minutes this year I'm pretty sure.

It USED to be 2 hours...but with so many players on each of the 3 flights they had to cut it down.

Also - since there weren't any auto-shufflers we weren't getting THAT many hands per hour.

Obviously it's a deep-stack, slow-structure tourney.....but remember that you are getting more hands per hour online so if you are only used to online-tourneys you need to remember that 100-minute levels in a live tourney aren't exactly the same.
