On top of some regulation changes, another change that was announced was the size of players' chip stacks.

The number of chips in relation to the buy-in fee grew from 1:1 to 2:1 about two years ago and has grown again to 3:1 for this year.

"We did triple the starting chips this year, allowing players more opportunities to have their strategies, learn their players at the table, last longer in the tournament and really give them an opportunity to play," Jack Effel, the WSOP tourney director, explained to The USA Today.

"Players in all 57 events at this year's World Series of Poker will start out with significantly larger stacks of chips. Whether they have any left at the finish is up to their skills and luck," The USA Today goes on to say.
