2009 Spring Championship of Online Poker blinds structure

The blinds structure for the 2009 Spring Championship of Online Poker Differents from the 2008 WCOOP.

All players start a event with 5,000 chips(2,500 chips for re-buy events including 1R1A except for the 2X chance event). All levels are 15 minutes(5 minutes on heads-up) for low stakes events, 20 minutes(10 minutes on heads-up) for medium stakes events and 30 minutes(15 minutes on heads-up) for high stakes events but only 5 minutes for turbo 2X chance events(all events 4L, 4M and 4H).

No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit 5 Card Draw

All No Limit Hold'em events and Pot Limit 5 Card Draw shared the same blinds structure. Pot Limit 5 Card Draw event used the half small blind ante structure(the same as No Limit 2-7 Single Draw), which is rounded up.

For events 8 and 22, the first three levels were skipped and each player started with 10,000 chips. They were also two-day events, the low stakes versions of both events paused at the end of level 44, the medium-stakes versions paused after the end of level 33, and the high-stakes versions paused after the end of level 22 and resumed at 16:30 ET the following day. The seats were re-drawn when they resumed.
