My wording was unclear. The players playing in the game made the change, not the house. I can confirm that's what they were playing, but my guess is that the standard structure is at least 50/50 to be back today. You can always bring it up when you sit down if you want.

Notes from my experience:

-The 20/40 game was very nitty, this was awesome when were started playing 3 handed.
-You can't use the single table sattelite winner 'chips' to buy into single table sattelites, this sucks.
-The floor personnel were varied from good to super bad, one guy wanted to take $1/hand for me and some guy to play heads up 20/40.
-They pool tips which sucks and makes me want to not less often.
-Mike Sexton and Daniel N. played a super long heads up match that was still going when I left at 430. I wonder who won?
-The cocktail waitresses were not hot.
-Apparently the 2/5 PLO was lots of action
-I suck for only getting 5 BBs out of 77 with KQ 3 handed on a AJ7 T 8 board.
-There roughly 500 2/5 NL games.
-The 25/50 NL game was changed to one $50 blind plus a $25 ante.

I'll be out there 14-18 July and interested in the 2/5 PLO game, so any reports would be greatly appreciated. How many tables, type of opponents, etc.

Can someone confirm this? I'm hoping it was just dealer/floor ignorance. This is ridiculous if it's true. And I also see the better structured SNG's now start at $325? If I remember right, last year the $175 and below was 1000/15 min and the 225+ was 1500/20min. Harrah's can suck it. What are they going to do next year when the execs invariably want x% growth on their WSOP revenue? 500 chip/10min levels???

This really sucks. Hopefully this is changed fast. I guess the value of them has really decreased then. You could probably buy them off of people for $400 per chip then.

I saw the sattelite cihp thing printed on the rules sheet for the sattelites that details the structure etc.

The "25/50 NL" game had the same structure last night with $25 antes and one $50 blind. Antonio Esfandiari looked like he'd been playing in it for about 3 weeks.
