2006 World Series of Poker
Main Event Day 2B (1C + 1D)
The Main Event can be tough as any player who particpated will tell you. But those playing today will also tell you that
$12,000,000 dollars for the first place win and a gold and diamond bracelet that cannot be purchased makes it all
worthwhile. Now that the combined players from 1A and 1B have finished and are resting up, it is time for the 1C and
1D survivors to take to the tables with the goal to play until 700 are left. Time will tell who moves on and who waits until next year
for another chance.
11:48 a.m. Play will begin shortly as 1,736 rested players assume their seats. So far the remaining players
after all events looks to be as follows:
- Day 1A: 781 players left
- Day 1B: 856 players left
- Day 1C: 861 players left
- Day 1D: 875 players left
- Day 1A and 1B: 561 players left
12:05 p.m. The cry of "shuffle up and deal" has been sent forth to begin this round of the Main Event. Players will start
with blinds at $250/$500 with a $50 ante.
