The 2006 WSOP saw the introduction of a $50 000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament, the highest ever buy-in for a single World Series of Poker event. This event has been a huge success ever since and still boasts the highest single buy-in at the WSOP.
Humberto Brenes and Phil Hellmuth both cashed 8 times to set a new record for the most money finishes in a single WSOP.

Jeff Madsen won the 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Award after collecting two bracelets and finishing 3rd on two other final tables.
