Binion's American Poker Player Championship
2006 Schedule of Events
Binion's Gambling Hall in Las Vegas will host a tournaments series May 10-24 with a number of poker events with buy-ins ranging from $330 to $5,300. The American Poker Player Championship is a 29-event series that will take place at the former venue of the World Series of Poker.
The championship event will begin May 22 with satellites starting at $100. An 800 player limit will be imposed for each tourney. The complete schedule will be available shortly here on this website. Binions Horseshoe was the 
home of the World Series of Poker from 1970 through 2005, with the 2005 event being held partially at Harrah’s Rio Pavillion and beginning in 2006 the entire WSOP event. Harrah's Entertainment owns the WSOP name and have expanded the trademark name to include many other events around the U.S. known as the World Series of Poker Circuit Tour.
Binion's (formerly Binion's Horseshoe) therefore must have felt the need to fill the void left when the WSOP left for bigger living quarters. See the complete schedule of events here.
