2006 WSOP Champ To Pocket $12 Million Payout
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 1, 2006–The winner of the $10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold’em World Championship at the 37th annual World Series of Poker presented by Milwaukee’s Best Light will take home a record $12 million, the largest single-event prize in live poker history.
The final payout schedule for the championship, commonly known at the World Series of Poker Main Event, awards each of the top 12 finishers at least $1 million. The total net prize pool for the Main Event swelled to more than $82.5 million, bringing the total net prize pool for all 2006 WSOP events to more than $154 million.
“This World Series of Poker stands out as the best in the tournament’s illustrious 37-year history,” said WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. “Never before have so many people from around the world competed for so much prize money and the honor of winning the most coveted prize in all of poker — the World Series of Poker champion’s bracelet.”
A total of 8,773 people entered the 2006 WSOP Main Event, which began July 28 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The previous participation record for a live poker event — 5,619 players — was set at the 2005 Main Event.
The 37th annual World Series of Poker also shattered all prize money records for live poker events. The prize pool of $82.5 million eclipsed the roughly $53 million record set at last year’s Main Event. The more than $154 million total net prize pool for all 2006 events is up from more than $103 million in 2005.
For the first time in live poker history the $1 million prize threshold will extend beyond the final table. In addition to the $12 million top prize, the following amounts will be awarded to the top finishers at this year’s World Series of Poker Main Event:

WSOP Bracelet No. 10 For Hellmuth
LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2006–Four weeks into the World Series of Poker and with the Main Event around the corner, at 1:00 am at the Rio Pavilion in Las Vegas, Phil Hellmuth Jr. re-wrote the WSOP record books one more time winning his tenth gold bracelet in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Rebuy tournament.
In front of a growing crowd of anxious fans, standing room only, Hellmuth faced off with Juha Helppi to reclaim his place as number one.
Crowned the “poker brat,” Hellmuth now joins the ranks of Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan, the only other pros to have won 10 World Championships of Poker, and the most all-time wins. Hellmuth won $631,863, his share of a $2,340,238 prize pool
Hellmuth has been a force on the poker scene since 1989 when he became the youngest World Series of Poker champion at the age of 24, taking home his first gold bracelet and an astounding $775,000. His stated career goal is to become the best poker player of all time.
Now with ten WSOP victories (two of them in 2003), four Hall of Fame titles, and more than fifty tournament titles, Hellmuth is well on his way to cementing his poker legacy. Winning three WSOP titles and a second place finish in 1993 is considered the best feat in the history of poker.
In the World Poker Tour tournaments Hellmuth has amassed top-ten finishes and in 2005, Hellmuth took first place ($500,000) at the Golden Nugget’s NBC National Heads-Up Poker tournament against 64 of the world’s best poker players. He has won dozens of major tournaments internationally, including wins at the World’s Biggest Seven-card Stud Tournament in Vienna at Casinos Austria, the Poker EM “European Champion,” (2000), and Late Night Poker III Champion in Great Britain (2000). Added to his list of titles is also the 1995 Hall of Fame Championship Event.
In addition to today’s triumph, on June 30th Hellmuth reached another key record in WSOP history when he became the first player ever to cash-in 50 times, getting 67th place in a field of 2,776 players at the $1,500 No Limit Hold’em event. Hellmuth is now able to claim that he is the first player to ever reach that mark, which again puts him into the annals of World Series history.
