There are a handful of events that I would really like to see live over the others, and this would have been one of them. The $2500 NLHE short-handed (6 players per table) event finished on Sunday, and I can only imagine it was pretty entertaining to watch. Short-handed tables move a lot faster since your starting requirements are lower, but when you have a final table that includes Dutch Boyd, Joseph Hachem, and Daniel Negreanu, you have to know the action never stopped. Dutch Boyd walked away as champion, earning the 5th World Series of Poker bracelet of 2006. Top nine finishers and their prize money were:
1. Dutch Boyd $475,712
2. Joseph Hachem $256,800
3. Jeff Knight $153,511
4. Michael Goodman $115,607
5. Pete Hassett $91,917
6. David Solomon $68,227
7. Mirza Nagji $42,642
8. Daniel Negreanu $38,852
9. Vegard Nygaard $35,061
