The mother of all poker tournaments, the WSOP, will start almost fifty days run of continuous major tournament poker action. The Rio All Suites Resort, a Harrah's Entertainment Inc. casino located just off the Las Vegas strip will host the big event. The corporation has successfully solved the logistics problems of 2005. First, many additional restrooms, better food service plus the addition of more than twice registration clerks and cashier stations will eliminate the impossibly long lines of 2005. Second, parking will be more convenient and increased outside security will manage the expected record crowds.
Johnny Grooms will host the 2006 WSOP. The tournament area will occupy more space this year in the convention area of the Rio with additional tables and a spacious new media area. World Series of Poker could see over 10000 entrants take seats in the 2006 Main Event. The Tournament area is expected to have 220 tables and the Main Event can be expanded to four "first day flights" of 2200 players each. Two days of "day two flights" and another week of narrowing the field to the final table ten will push the Main Event to almost two weeks of play. The winner of this king-size WSOP 2006 will become an instant poker legend and a multi-millionaire superstar.
