Just Received My Confirmation for Main Event at the 2006 WSOP!
The schedule for the "Main Event" (Game 39) of the 2006 World Series of Poker is setup to support up to 8,000 players. This is up significantly from the 2005 WSOP Main Event which brought together 5,619 people.
According to the confirmation I just received, my first day of play is set for Day 1C which starts at noon on Sunday, July 30, 2006. If I am fortunate to survive the first day of play, I get two days off until play resumes on August 2nd when the survivors of Day 1C and Day 1D play each other. From that point forward, the people who still have chips at the end of play on August 2nd get a day off until play resumes on August 4th.
At first glance some people may feel as if the days are being stretched out for the 2006 WSOP. But after checking the schedule, once the field reduces down to 600 players, there are no planned breaks (at all) in the schedule until the Final Table starts at 12 noon on Thursday, August 10th.
While 2006 has been another "year on the road", my trip to Las Vegas to play in the WSOP is one trip that I've been looking forward to all year. :)

Best of luck. I've put this event on the list of things I will do before I die, hopefully the buy-in isn't up to a million bucks by the time I get to it :)

Good luck! Been thinking about doing this for a while, probably though a satellite. With the rate this thing is growing, though, I wonder if at some point it's going to be come more about luck than skill to get past the first couple rounds.
