When Joe Hachem won the 2005 WSOP main event, he would occasionally show up in the news, with his new found celebrity making his actions noteworthy. The same holds true for reigning World Series of Poker Champion Jamie Gold.

All things must come to an end, and the dispute between TV producer Bruce Crispin Leyser and 2006 World Series of Poker main event winner Jamie Gold has ended as it had begun - an agreement was struck between two men.

When Mike Sexton took down not only Mike Matusow but Daniel Negreanu at the 2006 World Series of Poker's Tournament of Champions, it was a sweet, sweet victory. Not only did Mike Sexton, often referred to as the "Ambassador of Poker", create this version of the TOC's predecessor many years ago, Sexton has played the role of expert commentator for the World Poker Tour since its inception, and has had plenty of opportunities to comment on both Matusow and Negreanu as they played.

37th annual World Series of Poker is now over. Starting the day as a huge chip leader, about two to one over his closest threat Allen Cunningham, Jamie Gold managed to hold on to a dominating position, playing aggressive poker in about 30% to 40% of the parts, and bringing it home in early morning hours on August 11, becoming the latest World Series of Poker Main Event Champion.

August 9th was supposed to be the second to last day of play for the Main event of the 37th annual World Series of Poker. Instead, the final table players will get a day off. The reason for the change in schedule started on Friday, August 4th, for the first time during Even 39 all flights were playing together as one. The play was supposed to end at 600 players, but tournament's organizers decided to keep playing through another level or two. Despite the chant of " Six Hundred Players! Six Hundred Players!" the tournament directors decided to end the play with a little over 400 players. This snowballed into Tuesday, August 8th where 27 participants played down to 9, which was supposed to happen on August 9th.

The Main Event of the 2006 World Series of Poker is almost finished. The play continued on Tuesday with the number of players went from 27 down to 9. There was about an 11 1/2 million dollar gap between first place and 27th place, ten of these players were going home without a fight. Jamie Gold, however, didn't shy away from mixing it up, despite an enormous chip lead. His closest competitor throughout the night, Allen Cunningham, stated around half of Gold's chip stack, and either one of them could have sat back and just let the other players bust themselves out of the event. But Cunningham and Gold mixed it up with the rest, losing some chips and then gaining back more.

Event 43, the fourth of "second chance" events at this year's World Series of Poker, this $1,500 No-Limit Texas Holdem game will run for two days. The attendance seems to be dropping off in these events, as players make their way home, some excited from great victories and others dejected and hopefully determined to try again next year.

Once again multiple events were taking place at the Amazon Room in the Rio All-Suite Hotel Casino as Events 39, 41, and 42 were all underway. Most attention was on Event 39, naturally, as it was Day Five of the Main Event, with the majority of the pros dropping off along the way. Daniel Negreanu was gone, as was Annie Duke, Surinder Sunar and many others, leaving it up to the lesser-known pros and amateurs to battle on.

It was Day Four of the Event 39, the Main Event of the 37th annual World Series of Poker, taking place at the Rio in Las Vegas. A day started with 481 players, and while all of them were guaranteed to least double up on their initial investment of $10,000, the big price of $12 million likely kept everyone highly motivated to play their best. Nine players had over $500,000 in chips, six players had over $600,000 in chips, and of them only one was a big-name Pro, David Chiu. Many favorites bit the dust throughout the day, including Kathy Liebert and the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event champion, Joe Hachem.

After a day off and plenty of time to rest, replenish their energy, and worry about making money, over a thousand players returned to the Amazon Room to run up the heat on the Main Event of the 37th annual World Series of Poker at the Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada. Only a little over six hundred players would reach the money, meaning the few hundred were going to go home broke. While the majority of the field seemed to be amateur players, or at least not very well-known names in the world tournament poker, there were still plenty of big names in play.
