The World Series of Poker Schedule for 2006
World Series of Poker is set to Start on June 25, 2006.

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

Harrah's will stage the world's richest poker tournament at its Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino 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 coveted World Series of Poker gold bracelets.

Ask yourself, can you possibly stand up to the pressure of 8 days of poker at the highest level to win enough money to live in a suite in Las Vegas? Imagine, you can play poker every day of your life once you win the top prize at the World Series of Poker.

Actually, I should warn you that I am going to play the main event this year so you might want to set your sights on 2nd place as my wife already has spent much of my first prize purse so I have no choice but to win.

The complete schedule of 2006 World Series of Poker events is as follows:

All events are to be held at the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV
