What structure will this $565 event use? How long will the blinds be?

Bracelet events still have any prestige? I didn't think it could get any worse then giving out like 100 bracelets per year.

Colossus seems like a lot of fun. Hoping I can make it out to Vegas for a few events this year.

Which table would you prefer to sit at assuming all the levels are the same after 25-50?
Calm down bro. Take a deep breath. Whatever happens, don't start a new thread.

Prevailing in a field of 15,000 entrants is hardly an accomplishment that devalues a bracelet.

ITT Chainsaw gives approval to a structure change and people flame him.

Your reading comprehension is lacking. I prefer 25-50 5k and never complained at all.

$1500 events last year started with 4500 chips at 25-25 or 180bb

This year 5000 chips at 25-50 or 100bb

Which is actually better?

Or will the $1500 start with more then 5000 this year?

You're right I totally misinterpreted the post, and I do agree with what you posted that people will spew more with 5k stacks vs 3k starting. I guess I meant more like "lets not turn wsop 2015 thread into a first blind level debate thread." Anyway yeah I misread your first post but the point remains it's the first level of the tourney.

Surprised you didn't take this opportunity to talk about 500 and 5k big blind levels missing as that's a much more important conversation to be having.

Haven't seen the structure sheets. If 250-500 still missing with 5k stacks then not a big improvement.

Dude, make your mind up.
First you incorrectly bitch at him for bitching.
Next you want him to bitch about something that we don't have any info about yet!

It doesn't look like the monster stack is re-entry. Anyone heard differently?

So I misread Chainsaw's post, so sue me. When I see a post from Allen, by brain naturally jumps to default mode of expecting him to bitch about something.

The 1ks go from 3000 up to 5000 chips. Not the 1500s.

I hope they use different chipsets for all these events.

Chip values range from 3x to 10x of your buyin.

Not sure how I feel about a $565 being WSOP event(I'm sure it's a $491+$74 or something ) but I really want to play in it.

^^ Likely $500 + 65 for the Colossus.

Looks like the $1k's go from 3,000 to 5,000 chips and the $1.5k's go from 4,500 to 7,500 for 2015.

Will be so many people playing this $565 that it won't even matter it has 4 flights.

There aren't enough good players on earth to water down this field.

I'm all for it. I couldn't care less about the prestige of the WSOP. Only way I'd like it better if they made it a turbo.
