I fired up my best friend, Google, and started my quest for the official PAD tournament structure. I did find one reference to it but it wasn't a terribly reliable source. Finally I posted on 2+2 and the forum at Poker Road Radio.
During last summer's WSOP I had participated in a couple of Poker Road Radio's AIM chat's during a broadcast. This morning I noticed that PRRadiochat was online. Being my usual bashful self I accosted the poor guy:
gadzooks64: Hey, I'm looking for the Poker After Dark Tournament structure... can anybody over there hook me up?
prradiochat: trying to find it...
gadzooks64: Thanks!
prradiochat: 100/200. 150/300, 200/400, 300/600, 400/800, 600/1200, 800/1600, 1k/2k for sure
gadzooks64: OK. Antes?
prradiochat: none, 20k chips after 1/2k, i think it goes 1,500/3,000, 2/4k, 3/6k, etc
gadzooks64: OK, I had found this:
gadzooks64: 100-200
150-300
200-400
300-600
400-800
600-1,200
800-1,600
1,000-2,000
1,500-3,000
2,000-4,000
3,000-6,000
gadzooks64: but not at a real reliable source
prradiochat: i went thru this week's show, and all those levels thru 800/1600 were there
prradiochat: the rest are logical
gadzooks64: ok, awesome! Thanks!
gadzooks64: right
prradiochat: np
gadzooks64: I'm going to have a home game with it
gadzooks64: should be interesting
gadzooks64: going with 30 min levels though cause we don't have all night
prradiochat: i think they use 20 min levels
gadzooks64: srsly?
gadzooks64: I read 45
gadzooks64: but that seemed long
gadzooks64: 20 seems short
prradiochat: they usually have to do 2 or 3 shows a taping
prradiochat: so it's a fast structure
gadzooks64: wow, cause it seems they try to make it seem slower
prradiochat: maybe it's 30 minutes for levels...
gadzooks64: they have to get 5 hours of show
gadzooks64: and they show almost every hand
prradiochat: well there's plenty of commercials/filler
gadzooks64: true
gadzooks64: I think 30 min levels will be good
prradiochat: should work for you
gadzooks64: yep
gadzooks64: Thanks, I really appreciate it!
prradiochat: glad to help
I (heart) Poker Road Radio!
