2006 WSOP: Big Stud Event at WSOP Today

The largest buy in stud event takes place today at the Rio in Las Vegas, kicking off the start of the two day event at the World Series of Poker. It's Event 28, the $5,000 Seven-Card Stud. The game of Texas Holdem, especially the No-Limit version, has been the dominant game at the WSOP, as well as the rest of the world, so when games like Omaha or Seven-Card Stud are played a lot of specialists buy in to take a shot at big jackpot prizes and a piece of WSOP glory known as the WSOP bracelet. While there are not quite as large fields who play games in the stud events as the rest, the five grand buy in should guatantee a big enough prize pool to excite all the players in the game.
