It is estimated that the number of players at the 2006 world series of poker will be 8000 players. They have set a cap to limit the massive tournament pool so that the event can end in a reasonable time it will be from July 28-Aug 10! There will be a select handful of players that will actually be shown on tv including pro’s, no names that make it far, and last, but not least, the first person out, ME! Last year they showed the first player out on the first main event broadcast on ESPN. This year I expect them to repeat this act on the 2006 broadcast of the main event. Get the sponsorship of a lifetime by having your brand be apart of the first out poker experiment.
