Shuffle Up and Deal! The 2006 WSOP is here!

Shuffle Up and Deal! With those four magic words Robert Daly, 2006 World Series of Poker Tournament Director, officially opened the 2006 WSOP at the precise hour of Noon. The Rio Resort in Las Vegas welcomed the thousands of fans and players to this year's big poker show located in the Amazon room of the Pavilion Convention Center.

If today's turnout for event #1, a casino employee tournament, is any indication of the interest and support for this Mother of All Poker Tournaments then expect records to fall faster than the dead money. Last year's event #1 attracted 662 players for the $500 buy-in No-limit Hold'em event while this year's turnout was capped at 1100 players. Rumors circulating on the floor said tomorrow's first open event, a $1,500 buy-in No-limit Hold'em tournament was already at capacity. In 2005 the event hosted 2,305 players and paid the defending champion, Allen Cunningham $725,405.

The 2006 WSOP Tournament of Champions is also going live at the WSOP tournament area. The final table is playing this afternoon and the ESPN crew is filming the event for a later national TV broadcast. The table is an all-star lineup including last year's defending champion, Mike Matusow along with Daniel Negreanu, Andrew Black, Mike Sexton, Kido Pham, and Chris Ferguson. Gus Hansen was included in the lineup but was the first player to be eliminated followed by Daniel Bergsdorf. This one will provide the audience with some great poker action and should be top level entertainment. The crowds had filled the limited seats and waited patiently for more than two hours to watch all the former WSOP champions take a shot at the $1,000,000 first prize.

Postul celui care a jucat impotriva lui Negreanu, un regular pe forumul betfair/poker, un excelent jucator de mtt (de la el plus inca un regular am invatat cele mai multe chestii cand am inceput cu pokerul--in primii ani era f modest, f deschis la discutii etc, in ultimul timp am vazut ca-i f stresat etc, probabil din cauza ca-s mai multi bani in joc etc--btw, a terminat omul dreptul acolo la ei in Anglia si nu a vrut sa profeseze, a avut vreo cateva wins de peste 50.000 in turnee online, il inteleg :P ) Mihay care a jucat impotriva lui de o groaza de ori va zice ca-i un fish

Yep great effort.

Outplay these useless joke for 17 hours, get dealt Aces for first time in 2000 hours, set the play up, get em cracked when 91.2% on river. Costs me $150,000 in chip equity. I draw $10k, spend $15k tonight. Let me know when them African donation programs are on cause I might be on there soon. A waste of time. Anyone who thinks poker is skill is severely mistaken. Negreanu is f***ing useless, he lost 55 pots to me and was on tilt so stuck em in. He is worth 10million, i aint.

GG WP.

F*** poker its a waste of f***ing time.

Btw, am auzit ca PartyPoker ar fi dat 10,000,000$ ca logo-ul lor sa apara pe fiecare masa de joc.

[SerJ]

is curios.. daca ai ramane HU cu unu ... locul 1 calificare la wsop si locul 2 vreo 6-7000$ ...dar nu ai avea varsta necesara (21) ce ai face? ai face anumita sa pierzi .. si sa iti zica ala saru'mana... sau te-ai califica la wsop ?
Unde vreau sa ajung este... poti sa iti vinzi locul de la wsop ?

[Darth]

In situatia aia as iesi clar pe locul 2(eu am ziua de nastere in septembrie, deci anul in care as face 21 n-as putea sa ma duc la wsop).
