Harrah’s Announces 2006 World Series of Poker Schedule:

2006 World Series of Poker runs June 25th to August 10th

Harrah’s Entertainment recently announced the schedule for the 2006 World Series of Poker. Harrah’s will host the event at the Rio for the second year in a row.

Satellites and live action begins June 25, 2006, and the $10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold’em World Championship Event starts July 28, 2006. In all, the 2006 World Series of Poker will consist of 44 separate events in which players can compete for "World Series of Poker gold bracelets."

The 2005 World Series of Poker shattered all participation and prize money records for a live poker tournament. The 45 events generated 32,341 player entries and more than $106 million in gross prize money. Joseph Hachem of Melbourne, Australia, won the World Series of Poker Championship and a US$ 7.5 million prize.

I'm already looking forward to playing in the 2006 WSOP. :)
