WSOP main event structure, and smaller WSOP event structures

Sifmole · #1 02-11-2005, 05:21 PM

Does anybody have a reference/link for the WSOP event structures? blind levels + antes, time between levels, starting chips, etc?

The starting stacks are equal to the buy-ins. In the 2K event, you starty with 2K in chips. In the main event you start with 10K.

This is all I know.

May have been on (yikes!) RGP a while ago that Savage stated all tournys are 'dollar for dollar.' 10k buy in, 10k in chips, etc.

Main event has 2 hour levels, starts 25/50 blinds.

Not to nitpick, but I think it starts 25-25.

Nope, it starts at 25,50 blinds.

Some of the smaller events, where you start with less chips, do begin at 25,25 blinds.

Last year a bunch of the first few levels (maybe first 8-10 levels) were shortened to 100 minutes b/c of the huge field. Then on Day 3 or 4 they were jacked to 2 hours.

greg,

how many events will you play this this year's WSOP?

Greg (FossilMan) · #9 02-12-2005, 10:13 PM

Uncertain, but probably more than half.
