Default 1500 chips for $1000 Event 17

That's what the printed tournament structure sheet says anyway.

Might be of interest for anyone who was avoiding this tournament anticipating that the stacks would be too shallow.

I don't really care enough to research it further esp. because they cleverly took down the Web page that had the structures, but if anyone else wants to look into it or already has, please feel free to confirm or deny here.

the smaller the stack sizes are in relation to the buyin the higher your hourly rate. the larger they are in relation to the buyin the higher your ROI but the lower your hourly rate. i can explain this if anyone needs me to.

The've been pretty adamant about all WSOP events and satellites being dollar for dollar (buyin vs chips), so I'd be real surprised if they gave 1500 chips for that event...

I'm listening to Susie Isaacs being interviewed on Card Player, and she mentioned that all of the 1k events will now have $1,500 in chips, starting with today's Ladies event.

This would have made me more likely to fly out for the ladies event. I hate starting with 1K.

Simple- lower stacks mean that the tournaments end faster, thus higher $/hour return.

If you are more skilled than most players, greater stack sizes, along with larger ratios of blinds to the chip stacks, means that you should have longer tournament times (lower $/hour) but your skilled play should more likely overcome card luck- therefore greater ROI on your tournament investment.
