Trying to schedule my "must do"/"could do" list of tournaments for this year's WSOP. There are 4 different Deep Stacks each day. How long do these usually last? The 2 late ones are listed with "accelerated formats", and the other 2 seem basic. If I have stuff planned the next day, will I be out of the Deep Stacks in time (assuming I run deep)?

Which one? Since they start at such staggered times, do they last similar lengths??

My guess is they will all end at the times they did in the past. They have more chips now and start at an earlier time. My guess is these things will counteract each other. Ending in the 4a-5a time.

To be totally unambiguous about what you're asking about: a deep DDS run can seriously mess up any morning (even early afternoon) plans you may have had for the next day.

These tournaments are fun and profitable, but just keep that in mind for your WSOP schedule. Like, if you bought into an 11 AM bracelet event I would strongly recommend against playing any DDS the day before.

Don't don't sleep.

Thanks~!

How about the nightly 8pm Megas, do they typically go until 4-5 am also?
