The 2006 World Series of Poker is off to a tremendous start. There was a record turnout for many of the events this year. The 2006 World Series of Poker opened with a bang.  The world’s largest and most prestigious poker spectacle began with the first open event on the schedule – the $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em competition.  A record 2,776 players entered the event, making it one of the largest poker tournaments ever in history.  Only the 2005 WSOP main event attracted more participants (5,619).  The total prize pool amounts to $3,789,240.

     The tournament was a complete sell-out.  Every poker seat in the
Amazon Ballroom at the Rio Convention Center (2,288 seats) was filled.  In
fact, WSOP tournament officials pulled-off what can only be described as a
miracle.
