Talk:2006 World Series of Poker

Opening comment
I was able to add the events list if someone is following. --Code1390 17:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

can we add the event number to the event list please?


 * There u go. --Code1390 03:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Full final tables listing for each event?
Do we really want to include this? The page is going to get incredibly long if we do. Only the final table for the main event is really going to be relevant, I would expect. If someone really wants to see the full final table of a specific event, I think it would be better for people to check external sources. Essexmutant 00:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I posted it on the project page, but didn't get any answers. It was more of a test to see how it would work.  Of course, if we wanted to, we could make a results page. --Code1390 02:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * No. We would have to make pages for each event, and that would be too much trivia. Also, these all would be vandalism magnets.  Who is to know four years from now who cam e in seventh in some event when someone changes it.  Winners and runners up is plenty. 2005 07:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Pot limit Omaha with Rebuys
This was a second chance event added that day that was not on the schedule, and not listed on the official website. It should be removed and all the statistics from it not included in "official" results unless someone can point to an official/Harrahs reference that considers this an real/official/bracelet title. We certainly should not be deciding such things for ourselves. 2005 20:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've dropped Harrah's an e-mail about it. Not sure if I'll get a reply. I'd note that the Card Player coverage is an official WSOP news source this year and that defines Froehlich in more than one place as winning a bracelet in this year's event. Essexmutant 21:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing this up. I got very confused when I didn't find it in the schedule. It is listed on CardPlayer.com though, where it says Froelich wins his second bracelet . Entheta 17:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I would note that Nolan Dalla has said it was a bracelet win who has been one of the official journalists for the WSOP for years. Essexmutant 17:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it seems official so I have added the results now. (Entheta 18:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC))

Sentence from the "Main Event" paragraph
I removed the following sentence from the article: "This will mark the first time that a poker event has been broadcast live in its entirety." I took it out for the three following reasons: 1) the statement was unsourced; 2) the event will not be shown in its entirety- only the final table will be; and 3) I saw live poker on FSN, in primetime, about a month ago (it was a 4-4.5 hour invitational event). If anyone objects to the removal of the statement, feel free to respond. -- Kicking222 22:20, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Results of main tournament.
I would like to see a list of results from the main tournament, the $10,000 buy in no limit tourney. Where is the link?

Also, has Harrington been eliminated? How did he go out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 01001 (talk • contribs).


 * The main event just started yesterday. It won't be over until August 10. SubSeven 20:24, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Fall of World Champions
I've put all champion eliminations under day 1. Also, do we need the sources for all the eliminations? Really looks like a mess, and hasn't been used in other WSOP articles. --Bigdottawa 17:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Minimally in the next couple days we should look for a source that includes all the champion eliminations, so one cite would replace multiple. Personally I don't think that it is very newsworthy when one of these champions is eliminated, although I can appreciate why others might think it is noteable enough to include... also, the citations make sense now in a newsworthy fashion (so people don't just add someone saying they have been eliminated but they really have not), but weeks from now that won't make any difference. 2005 18:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Bobby Baldwin got eliminated on Day 1 and Day 2? That's a neat trick. Anyway way we can officially determine when this was?--Andunaphel 15:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Why is it World Champions and not WSOP ME winners? Doctofunk 21:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No reason really. If it's changed though, someone will need to pick up the consistancy task across the other WSOP articles. Essexmutant 22:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Linking Allen Cunningham in main even final table template
I think a wikilink should be provided in the main even final table for Cunningham, because his earlier wikilink is not easily recognizable, therefore it would not be a redundant link. --Zimbabweed 11:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Why do you feel it is not recognizable? Essexmutant 15:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikilinks in "Fall of World Champions"
Could I suggest that it would make sense for all the names in the section "Fall of World Champions" to be wikilinked. I know that the general guideline (n.b. not policy) is not to repeat the same link in the same page, but the guideline also states: "It is not uncommon to repeat a link that had last appeared much earlier in the article." In this case, it is extremely inconvenient if, for instance, wanting to follow through to former World Champion Phil Helmuth's page, to have to scan back through a whole series of names in the earlier part of the article trying to find Phil's name that is linked. It would appear to be much simpler to just link all the names in this section - which is where someone might want to click without having read the other sections.

If one is considering a more prose style article with multiple paragraphs, then re-linking the same term/name in a subsequent paragraph is extravagant, but this article seems to be arranged such that a re-link in the list would be appropriate. -- MightyWarrior 17:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Can you raise this at WikiProject Poker please? This will allow for input in a centralized location by all WP:Poker members. Thanks. Essexmutant 17:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Phillipe Boucher
I doubt the validity of Phillipe Boucher, the NHL player, being the player in the Main Event. Going to the link supplied, the database does not link up with the NHL schedule from last year. An event credited to this Phillipe Boucher on 10/6/05 has him in Reno, where as the NHL schedule had the Dallas Stars in between games in Los Angeles, and Colorado. I doubt that an professional athlete would have been in that tournament at that time in the middle of the season, even though Nevada is in between California and Colorado I am not denying that it could be the NHL player in the main event, I just believe that a more reliable form of evidence (such as maybe a press release or article about him being in the main event), should be used rather than the Hendon Mob Link

Blongitron 18:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Upon further searching, it is not the NHL Player.

Player of the year
The article states that ''Jeff Madsen, who who won two events and made four final tables, was named the 2006 WSOP Player of the Year. He barely edged Hellmuth, who also made four final tables.'' but according to the CardPlayer WSOP leaderboard Hellmuth is #1 with 3700 points and Madsen #2 with 3680. Which is correct, and what source says Madsen is player of the year? Entheta 19:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Essexmutant 19:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Is there any price to the player of the year this year, like Daniel Negreanu got a Toyota Tundra in 2004? Entheta 20:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The link you give, the CardPlayer WSOP leaderboard, is a list using CardPlayer Magazine's own points system. It has nothing to do with the actual WSOP Player of the Year award.  It is rather annoying that CardPlayer does this, as it just causes mass confusion. SubSeven 20:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
