Well, not if you believe the WSOP's own predictions. What is interesting is the subtle change they made in how they advertise this year, at least for this event. In years past it was listed as a 5-day event, scheduled to end on day 4. In other words they treated each day 1 as a separate day. The event did end on day 4.
This year it's advertised as a 5-day event also, however it is being shown to end on day 5. So, they believe (and I have no reason to disagree with them), that this year's event will be one day longer than last year's. If they went by prior years' advertising methodology, it would be shown as a 6-day event. Was this just a simple oversight, or an attempt to make it seem like the event isn't longer? Who's to say?
Looking at the structure sheet here:

It appears they removed two early levels, but that certainly won't make up for a 3.33x increase in starting stacks. I suspect this event will rate well on plog's or others' structure analysis, but it will be a longer tournament.
The same can be seen in the DoubleStack Event a week later.

The WSOP expects this to be 1 day longer than last year.
