aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie
Die World Series of Poker 2006 begann am 25. Juni 2006 und endete mit dem Final Table des Main Events am 10. August 2006.
Die WSOP veranstaltete insgesamt 45 Turniere in der Pokervarianten Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hold'em, Seven-card stud sowie Razz. Zu den Turnieren gehören unter anderem das Tournament of Champions und das mit 50000 US-Dollar Buy-In teuerste WSOP-Turnier namens H.O.R.S.E.
Alle Turniere wurden im Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada veranstaltet. Dies war das erste Jahr, in dem der Final Table des Main Events nicht im legendären Binion's Horseshoe stattfand.
Humberto Brenes und Phil Hellmuth waren gemeinsam mit acht Money Finishes am häufigsten im Geld. Als 2006 WSOP Player of the Year wurde Jeff Madsen ausgezeichnet. Er holte sich zwei Bracelets und kam fünfmal ins Geld.
