In 2006, a record 8,773 players played in the annual World Series of Poker's Main Event, producing record ratings for ESPN’s ongoing coverage, cementing the game’s status as one of the great American pastimes. This year the 38th World Series of Poker will begin June 1, with the No-Limit Hold 'Em World Championship Main Event running from July 6-17 (Harrah's Las Vegas, host to the Series, has made plans to expand its tournament seating by 50%).
