2006 Mandalay Bay Poker Championships

Well, the Mandalay Bay Poker Championship has been underway, as a sort of a warm up to the WSOP later this month. While this is a WPT sponsored event, there were not that many sub events in this one.

The $10K No Limit Texas Holdem Poker Main event got underway on Sunday with 349 total entries for a $3.3Million prize pool!

There are a lot of names in the uppper parts of the leader board so far, but, as usual a number of the top players did not last out the day. Those busting out on day on include: Phil Ivey, David “The Dragon” Pham, Alan Goehring, Scott Fischman, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Toto Leonidas, Liz Lieu, Chip Reese and Daniel Negreanu.
