New 2006 WSOP bracelet revealed

2006-06-08 17:00:00

The 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet has been unveiled.

Although winners of the other events will get a bracelet, only the champion's bracelet has a 35g solid diamond-cut rope chain with 170 hand picked diamonds weighing in at six carats.

Around the 14 carat gold plaque will be each suit created from jewels: a heart shaped ruby; a princess cut ruby for diamonds; a black sapphire for the spades; and three round black diamonds for clubs.

"It's impossible to overstate the value of a World Series of Poker gold bracelet to anyone who takes the game seriously," stated World Series of Poker Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack during the unveiling.

He compared winning the bracelet to winning the Superbowl and is comparable in cost to the rings that those champions get.

While only one poker player will go home with the main bracelet after the 37th World Series of Poker, winners of the 44 other events will still get a 14 karat yellow gold and accentuated by full cut white diamonds.

But it is only the winner of the $10,000 Championship Event who will get to go away with the top bracelet around their wrist and a cool $10 million in their hand.
