Starting a brand new thread for the tournament, adding relevant info as to the schedule:
The plan is for cards in the air at 1:11pm PT, so all the festivities/etc. start early.
There will be a feature table
STREAMING at WSOP.com (5-minute delay, commentary, no hole cards) Sunday and Monday.
Sunday's feature table will be held at the ESPN "mothership" where televised final tables take place. The other five tables will take be playing in the Amazon Blue section, which feature:
* Spectator seating
* Plasma screens to show flops/all-in and calls at each table
* Frequent chip counts (via Chiptic)
Players have been asked to arrive in Amazon as early as 12pm with a group photo at 12:30pm. Player introductions through the tunnel at 12:45 as Guy Laliberte handles the "Shuffle Up and Deal" at 1:10pm.

Schedule is to play 9 or 10 levels today, returning at 12pm Monday
(with a STREAMING FEATURE TABLE) in Amazon Blue as the field plays down to the final 8 players. As all tables start eight-handed, it's unclear if they'll play two five-handed tables on the money bubble or play one 10-handed table.
The final table airs on ESPN2 from 4-7pm ET Tuesday, then moves to ESPN at 8pm ET as they play down to a winner. EDIT: Not sure if hole cards will be revealed at the "live" final table Tuesday night.
There will also be an edited 2-hour version of the final table airing on ESPN July 30.
