Three more Events have concluded in Las Vegas at the 2006 World Series of Poker, with plenty of prize money flying about.

First up was Event #23, the $3,000 buy-in Limit Hold’em tournament which attracted 352 runners and total prize money of $971,520.


This was a new event won by Ian Johns, a 21-year-old professional poker player from Seattle, Washington. He’s built up a substantial bankroll, but it hasn’t always been plain sailing.

John began his poker adventure by depositing $50 into an online poker account and began playing in low-stakes games. Within a few days, his funds were depleted and down to just $6.
