WSOP “Keys to the City” Titles Awarded
Now that the 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has reached its exciting conclusion, Casino City reporters Aaron Todd and Ryan McLane have announced who will win one of their coveted 'Keys to the City' awards for the best performances. The duo have also made their
selection for the 'Best Moment of the 2006 WSOP.'
The award for the Male Most Outstanding Player was awarded given to Allen Cunningham. The reporters felt that his consistent play coupled with his amazing run at the WSOP Main Event and the fact he was only the fourth player in poker history to win four gold bracelets before the age of 30 deemed him most worthy of the title.
The award for the Female Most Outstanding Player went to Cyndy Violette who tied for third with seven cashes and beat over 95 percent of the field in the Main Event, finishing 400th.
Leading the tournament field with eight cashes, bringing his career total to a record 57, the award for Most Consistent Player goes to Phil Hellmuth. Additionally, Hellmuth surpassed Poker Hall of Fame member T J Cloutier's WSOP final table appearances record of 35 by making his 36th appearance at the final event of 2006.
Hellmuth, by claiming his 10th career WSOP bracelet, also scooped a second award for the Best Moment of the 2006 WSOP. After two final table appearances, Hellmuth closed the gap between Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and himself with his 10th bracelet. Onlookers excitedly chanted '10, 10, 10!' throughout the night.
