WSOP Blinds Schedules
Here are blinds schedules used at some of the World Series of Poker events. Many of these blinds are used during the circuit events
that are held across the U.S. and allow entry into the 2006 WSOP in Las Vegas. Information about these events, and these WSOP
blinds schedules, can be found at the
WSOP website. Included on this page are some Seven Card Stud poker tournament blinds schedules, Pot Limit Omaha poker tournament
blinds schedules, and Pot Limit Hold'em poker tournament blinds schedules.
These World Series of Poker tournament blinds schedules use levels of anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes in length. Most of
these tournaments are meant to be held over one or two days, with blinds levels beginning at about 50 minutes and then increasing
to as much as 90 minutes for the final table. There are scheduled breaks every couple hours and a meal break on the first day.
The 10,000 chip distribution used at the 2005 WSOP was 12x$25, 7x$100, 2x$500, 3x$1,000, and 1x$5,000.
You can print these blinds schedules by highlighting them with your cursor and then choosing File|Print|Selection.
