    2006 WSOP Thread..probably spoilers...

    Well, the main event starts in about 3 hours, and I know people on here are poker fans, so I thought I'd make the thread. Apparently the field is 8000+, 4 days with groups of 2000 each...amazing how it's grown. I guess me or anyone else following it can/will post notable busts if people want to know...but again spoiler warning.

    As for the main event itself, I'm hoping Mikey the Chimp busts out on day 1 and Ivey finally wins.

      I thought they weren't going to allow the monkey to play because he didn't have an ID?

        I'm sure they will, it's drawing a lot of media attention. That's reason enough for them, although they really don't need any.

          Sort of a spoiler, but it doesn't really matter...



          First bustout of the tournament just before the 7 minute mark.

            i can't wait to watch it it's going to be awesome... i just hope a pro wins it this year... i'm tired of the amateurs coming in and runnin the tables but it's just so hard for them. i gotta pull for my boy, phil hellmuth, i know a lot of people don't like him but i feel for the guy and he's the one i want to win. next probably comes either ivey, negraneu, or john juanda.

                Hachem was a pro, just not a big-name pro.

                But besides that, a pro winning isn't good for online poker. Bad players like seeing an unknown amateur run the table at the biggest tournament in the world.

                      I want David Williams to win... he came so close a couple years ago...

                      As long as Moneymaker never wins again I'll be satisfied.

                        I'd like to see a nobody with a real job, qualifying through some 10 dollar buy-in internet satellite to win it all.

                        Moneymaker did so much for online poker.

                          David Williams is a punk. I lost all respect for that guy after his antics at the final table of the WPT Bay 101 tournament.

                          Also, does anyone else plan on ordering the final table live on ESPNPPV even if there are no hole card cameras?

                            oh I hadn't seen his blow up at the WPT tourny... I now have reservations about my opinion on him then.

                              They are going to charge for the final table now? I hadnt heard that if indeed that is the case. First they have a monkey playing which pretty much is making poker look like a traveling carnival and now they want to charge for something like this? I hope it blows up in ESPN's face and they drop the idea quickly.
