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.
