Am I reading that right where it says the blinds increase every 2 hours for the main event? 2 hours?

I'll let everyone know as soon as I can find out when Absolute is running those satellites Chip referred to .

Every 2 hours, possibly. They are expecting close to 8,000 players this year and they have to squeeze it all in. Can someone else say "An online player is winning yet again, no pro will win?"

The way I read the description it looks as if they are gonna cap it at 6600 entries. Every 2 hours seems like a long time to me actually. I guess I am jaded by the 10 minute increases at the Trop in AC.

Any idea why they moved the WSOP to June/July?

I think the blinds for the main event are every 90 minutes.

EACH LEVEL WILL LAST TWO HOURS, WITH A 15-MINUTE BREAK AFTER EVERY LEVEL. THE FIELD WILL BE SPLIT OVER FIRST THREE DAYS AND WILL COMBINE ON DAY FOUR. DAYS FOUR FIVE AND SIX WILL PLAY FIVE LEVELS EACH. DAY SEVEN WILL BE PLAYED DOWN TO 36 PLAYERS. DAY EIGHT WILL BE PLAYED DOWN TO THE FINAL NINE PLAYERS. PLAY RESUMES AT NOON EACH DAY

Click on the main event "title/link" in the schedule and the blind table pops up. Two hours is very long (even for live play), right?
