Event 56 - $5,000 Six-handed No Limit Hold'em Day 1 | 2009 World Series of Poker

We're just 15 minutes or so away from the start of Event No. 56, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event. With the start of today's event, the 2009 breaks the record for most bracelet events in a single series, the previous high-mark being 55. Just one more bracelet event remains after this one, of course -- the big one, the Main Event.

Right now the big board is showing that we already have nearly 600 entrants for this one, and that number is sure to climb over the next couple of hours. Back in a few with the start of today's event.
