2006 WSOP: WSOP Event 3 Starts Today

With two events begun sporting 2,000 plus players each, anticipation among World Series of Poker officials and players around today's Pot-Limit event is likely running high. The Texas Hold 'em Pot Limit event, which has a $1,500 buy in, is the first event of the season that differs from the super popular "no limit" style of Hold 'em.The three day event, kicking off at noon today, follows a similar format but limits betting to the amount currently in the pot, rather than allowing a player to declare "all in" and shove their entire stack of chips to the center. Last year's champion is Thom Werthman, who took home $369,535 after beating a field of 1,071 players.
