The World Series Of Poker Or WSOP Was Memorable For Several Reasons. One Is That It Is The Largest Main Item. More Than 8,000 Players Participated Before The UIEA Legislation Came Into Force That Same Year. (That Halted The Poker World)
And It Was The Last Year That Online Poker Was Allowed To Send Players Directly Into The Main Event. Thus, The Rio Hotel Became A Zoo As People Of All Skill Levels Came To Participate In Poker Tournaments. In Other Words, That Moment Was The Peak Of UFABET Poker. That We Will Never Be Able To See Again
Aside From The Obvious WSOP , There Are Many Stories That We May Forget. Fortunately, It’s The First Year. That We Fully Collect Information So, There Are Some Great Stories To Tell, And Here Are 10 Things You Won’t Believe Happened At The 2006 WSOP.
1. Negreanu Bought 48 Rebuys And Didn’t Earn A Penny.
The Buy-In Tournament Was Eliminated From The 2009 WSOP Thanks To Daniel Negreanu, Who Was Able To Easily Repeat Buy-Ins For His Chance To Win
. In 2006, Negreanu Was At His Peak With 48 Runs. The $1k Rebuy Tournament Simply Translates To That You’ve Invested $48,000 Into A $1,000 Tournament (Easily Hit At 1.44 Million Each)
. My Brother Didn’t Earn A Dime.
The Winner Was Phil Hellmuth With $631,863 And His 10th WSOP Bracelet, While Negreanu Made It To The Final Table In A Tie
. WSOP A Word, After That, Kae Gave An Interview That It’s Just The Advantage Of The Heavy-Handed Pros. Honestly,
This Will Save You A Ton Of Money.
2. THE HORSE (MIXED TOURNAMENT) EVENT IN THE WSOP 2006 HAD THE COOLEST FINAL TABLE.
The $50,000 HORSE Tournament In The 2006 WSOP Is Already Something Special.
It Was The Highest-Paid Event The WSOP Had Ever Hosted, But There Was Also The Legendary Chip Reese Who Was A Deserving Champion At The Time.
In Addition To What I Just Said People May Forget How Big The Bets At The Final Table Are. It Has Everything Old, New, And Jim Bechtel. In Fact, This Table Is Arguably The Coolest Table In All-Star Power.
How Cool Is That? Check Out The List:
Chip Reese
Phil Ivey
Andy Bloch
Doyle Brunson
Patrik Antonius
Dewey Tomko .
TJ Cloutier
David Singer
Jim Bechtel
3. The Person Who Survived The Main Event Cashed In Only $616.
In The 2006 Main Event, It Must Be Said That The Prize Was Very, Very Low.
The Final Winner, Ryan Badii, Received $10,616, Which, After Deducting The $10,000 Entry Fee, Only Earned $616, And The Next 10 Were The Same. The Bounty Jumped To $14,497
, Truly Unlucky For The First 11 Players To Drop. Because This Event Is The Longest Race To Get The Prize Money
4. There Will Be A Bangle Event Held After The Main Event.
Then You Have The Chance To Win A WSOP Bracelet As A Consolation For Losing The Main Event.
And After That, Never Held An Event Like This Again. But In A Corner Those Who Lose Bracelets Are Not So Bad.
5. Clonie Gowen And Maxim Party
In 2006, How Hot Was Poker? Full Tilt Poker Pro Clonie
Gowen Featured In Maxim Magazine And Threw A Party In The Full Tilt Poker Lounge.
A Note-Rich Comedy), FTP Surrogate Erick Lindgren And Mike Matusow, But Nothing Too Crazy. Well, It’s Still Party Poker.
6. Dimitri Nobles Smoked George Danzer Until It Turned Pale And Took Years To Recover.
At The 2005 WSOP, George Danzer Was On Top. With Three Championships And Is The Player Of The Year Honor. But The Point Is, At The Start Of The 2006 WSOP, Danzer Has Been Playing Well All The Way To The Deep End. In The Main Program That Year
But Then He Bumps Into Dimitri Nobles In A “Bad Luck” Hand. If I Tell You,
Danzer Has A Pair Of Kings In Hand,
Nobles Has A 8
, Opens The Flop, Nobles Gets A Pair Of Eights
, Then All-In And The Cards Dealt On The Turn. It Was An
A.
Danzer Later Admitted That That Turn Took His Pro Poker Career Two Years Back. But In The End, He’s Back And Better Than Ever
(Before Meeting Nobles, Danzer Was Played With A River Card).
7. PokerStars Spent $730,000 On New Players’ Pockets
As I Said, There Are Many Things That Are Confusing. How To Do It
According To Marketing Manager Dan Goldman, One Of PokerStars’ First Employees, The Company Put
More Than $730,000 Into Players’ Pockets. Each Bag Contains A PokerStars Team Jersey, Team Baseball Cap, And More. And The Name Of The Team On The Cloth How Much Does It Cost To Make Each Bag $450?
The Brand Is Extremely Important. And Every Website Is Trying To Put Their Own Symbol On Everything At The WSOP.
8. Brandon Cantu Is Sponsored By Winning A Single Tournament.
Prior To The 2006 WSOP, Brandon Cantu Had Never Won Poker. After Winning The $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em In 2006, He Won $ 757,839
And Signed A Professional Contract With Absolute Poker . Next On The Poker Path Made Over $4.2 Million While Bearing Full Tilt, PokerStars And UB Badges (Depending On The Contract Period). Not Wearing Them All Together) But If He Didn’t Win That Day Did Not Sign That Contract He Certainly Wouldn’t Be Today.
9. Well, Jamie Gold Is That Much Above The Others.
Every Poker Player Can Have Their Best Hand, But Jamie Gold’s 2006 One Has To Be Said. Live On Each Floor
From The Fourth Day Of The Match, His Chips Had Left The Others In The Dust. To The Point That Just Moving All His Chips To Another Table Became A Mess. Gold Himself Has A Habit Of Bluffing. But At The Same Time It Will Play The Best Hand. Repeatedly And That’s Why Other Pros Itchy Hands Wanted To Beat Him And Keep Playing With His Weak Hands.
Here’s How Gold’s Chips In The 2006 WSOP Main Event

10. Full Tilt Poker Gives A 10 Million Bonus In The Main Event
2006 Was The Year When Many Online Poker Sites Were Building Their Brand. And Everyone Wants A World Champion On Their Site. PokerStars Just Signed Three Consecutive Contracts With Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer And Joe Hachem In Their Golden Years, While Full Tilt Already Has An Individual Champion. An Additional $10 Million Is Offered To Players Who Can Compete In The Main Event On Behalf Of FTP And Win, But This Promotion Is Conditional. It Only Pays Millions Per Year (Pays For 10 Years), But If FTP Players Win The Main Event. It Means That There Is A Chance To Make Money Up To 22 Million.
According To Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, This $10M Promotion Also Gave Allen Cunningham A Chance To Reach The Final Table And Who Everyone Agrees Had The Most Chances To Take Down Jamie Gold (Which He Sweeps Every Day). Unfortunately, He Didn’t Make It To Cunningham’s Side, Finishing 4th, Winning $3.6 Million, But He Ended Up Joining The FTP Team A Few Months Later.
