I'm planning on playing in one of the lower buy in events, specifically Event 6, the $1500 limit hold em event. Will I start with only 1500 in chips (my assumption)? If not, how many will I start with?

Unfortunately, yes you will only start with 1500 chips which is why I'm not a big fan of WSOP tournaments at buy-ins under $3K. You pay $2K for an event, get 2,000 in chips, one PF raise and continuation bet could be 25% of your stack!

Last year in one of the $1K events I believe they started at 2K in chips. It might also have been a 1.5K and 2 or 3 in chips. It was one event though.

Also, Good Luck WSOP in getting 9,000 in the main event. Set your goal for 5K and be happy if you get that.

The $1,000 event started with 1.5k in chips as did the $1,500 buy-in events. These events are not structured very well. Unless it's a WSOP bracelet you want to play for there are better options in Vegas at these prices.

The $1,500 I played had a first prize over $300k. That's worth playing for.
