From Poker on TV (http://pokerontv.blogspot.com/2007/07/world-poker-tour-to-test-new-tv-table.html):
... the World Poker Tour has been seeking feedback on improving their often-criticized television-table blind structure. They will be testing out a new structure at the upcoming Bellagio Cup III event July 10 - 15. In the past they've reset the blinds and steepened the structure when it reaches the television table, but it looks like now they won't be altering the structure till it reaches heads-up: at that point they'll go from 90 to 60 minute levels. Below is the structure they're testing:

Level, Ante, Blinds
1, 0, $50/$100
2, 0, $100/$200
3, $25, $100/$200
4, $50, $200/$400
5, $75, $300/$600
6, $100, $400/$800
7, $100, $500/$1,000
8, $200, $600/$1,200
9, $200, $800/$1,600
10, $300, $1,000/$2,000
11, $400, $1,500/$3,000
12, $500, $2,000/$4,000
13, $500, $3,000/$6,000
14, $1,000, $4,000/$8,000
15, $1,000, $5,000/$10,000
16, $2,000, $6,000/$12,000
17, $2,000, $8,000/$16,000
18, $3,000, $10,000/$20,000
19, $3,000, $12,000/$24,000
20, $4,000, $15,000/$30,000
21, $5,000, $20,000/$40,000
22, $5,000, $30,000/$60,000
23, $10,000, $40,000/$80,000
24, $15,000, $60,000/$120,000
25, $15,000, $80,000/$160,000
(90-minute levels until heads-up play; 60-minute levels during heads-up play)

Antes on the third level? Mehh, no 25/50 starting level. I hate this "lets dupe the players by doubling the starting stacks, but we're really doubling the starting blinds too" routine. The antes are not even close to being consistant in ante % of the blinds. One level their 10% of the bb, another, they are 1/8th, another 1/6th, another 1/12th.
