Final World Series of Poker Event Draws Small Field

Because of its proximity on the calendar to poker's largest event, the final World Series of Poker circuit event of the 2005-06 season drew a smaller field than some had anticipated.

But if the enthusiasm displayed by fans at Harvey's Lake Tahoe casino resort was any indication, poker is in no danger of relinquishing its status as America's newest favorite spectator sport.

Even before the main event, a $10,000 buy-in no-limit Texas hold 'em competition began at Harvey's, poker aficionados were crowding the rail around the tournament area, pointing out well-known players such as former world champs Dan Harrington and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.

During a break, while tournament players headed for the seafood buffet, some fans, evidently desperate for a fix, even drifted over to watch the end of a minor tournament in an adjacent area.
