I notice the $300, $500, $1000, and $1500 side events are listed as 2 day events. The structures don't seem particularly slow. I was wondering if they usually go to 2 days and how many players are left when they break for the day.

From WSOP.com:
"Play will continue to one table or 2AM whichever comes first." Not sure if the final table is 9 or 10 players.

So it looks like every event will definately be 2 days. With the structure as fast as it is, I can't imagine these things playing until 2am and still having more than 10 players.

The $1K WSOPC-Tunica event earlier this month stopped play at 2am with 14 players left.

They also stopped play at 2am for the 1st day $300 and the 2nd day $500 to come back and finish out the following day.

The 2nd Chance events keep going until it is over. I went out in 5th in one at 2:45am and the finished up around 3:30am.

Nothing to write home about. I saw some pretty good players that are local pro's to some very bad play. In the 2nd Chance I took 5th in on the 2nd hand I picked up AQh in the SB. The button did a mini raise. I called and the BB called. The flop was AQQ. I checked, the BB went all-in and the button also went all-in. I called. The button had AJ and the BB had AK. At the FT we had two bracelet winners, one ring winner and the 3rd place finisher ended up taking 2nd in the Main Event.
