Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The main event fielded a record 8773 entries. Who outlasted this massive field to be crowned as the new WSOP Champion?

Answer: Jamie Gold

Gold won 12 million dollar for his efforts. It took him 8 days to overcome all his opponents. Wasicka came just short but was still rewarded an impressive 6 million dollars for second place. Cunningham finished 4th and was the only poker "pro" at the final table. Friberg finished 8th and was the second to leave the final table. Friberg was the highest ranking European player, he hails from Sweden.

2. Phil Hellmuth Jr. finally won his 10th "WSOP bracelet" during the "2006 WSOP".

3. Who was the first player to win two bracelets during the 2006 WSOP?

Answer: William Chen

Chen won his second on July 13, 2006, a day before Jeff Madsen won his first of two bracelets during the WSOP 2006. An amazing feat! Cunningham almost won his second bracelet during the Main event, but fell short. Hellmuth could have easily won 3 bracelets, but eventually ended with just the one.

4. Who won the prestigious 50.000$ H.O.R.S.E. event?

Answer: David "Chip" Reese

"Chip" Reese won over 1.7 million dollar for his first place finish in this event. It was the highest buy-in tournament during the 2006 WSOP. Brunson was the favourite to win, but he came short. Bloch and Ivey finished second and third respectively.

5. Who became the youngest ever bracelet winner during the 2006 WSOP?

Answer: Jeff Madsen
