A few WSOP questions.

[Telly33]

I'm planning on playing some WSOP events for the first time this year. I've got a few questions I couldn't find answers for anywhere else.

1.) Do you get 10,000 starting chips in all of the events? If not how many do you get?

2.) Event #21 is the No Limit HE Shootout. Can someone tell me what a shootout is?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

a shootout is where they play every table down till there is 1 winner at each table then merge all the winners to a table, play till 1 winner, merge, merge

honestly you couldve googled this

For the most part you start with chips equal to the buyin of the event, so 10k main event = 10k starting chips, $2500 NLHE event = 2500 starting chips. I think there are one or two exceptions to this, like perhaps the casino employees event, and maybe one other (ladies event?).

Thanks for the info.

That's what I was thinking on the starting chips, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So the $1,500 events you actually only start with T1500, huh? Are the blind structures the same for all of the tournaments? Start at 25/50 and go up every two hours?

Sorry for the dumb questions.

Thanks,

T1500 chips, start at 25/25, antes kick in at second 100/200 level, blinds increase every 60 minutes, break after every 2 levels.
