This tournament is notable for having the largest prize pool in a ''Melee'' tournament for several years, until [[EVO 2015]], with singles and doubles having a pot of $18,000 each. At this tournament, {{Sm|PC Chris}} won the championship and received a prize check in a ''Melee'' tournament of $10,000; again, that amount was not topped until EVO 2015. | This tournament is notable for having the largest prize pool in a ''Melee'' tournament for several years, until [[EVO 2015]], with singles and doubles having a pot of $18,000 each.

==Tournament Summary== | |||
The first round saw a noteworthy match between {{Sm|ChuDat}} and {{Sm|Isai}}, a match that Isai won 3-0. Though the two players had met many times since [[Tournament Go 6]], Isai rarely won their matchup making the decisive victory notable. ChuDat then lost a match to {{Sm|Azen}} resulting in a 7th place finish. This was a noticeably disappointing placement for ChuDat considering he managed to finish top 3 at every previous event on the 2006 MLG circuit . | |||
Losers bracket featured a rematch between {{Sm|Ken}} and {{Sm|Azen}}. The pair hadn't met in tournament since [[MLG New York Playoffs 2006]] where Azen defeated Ken for the second time in their rivalry. Azen took the first game, but Ken rallied with 3 consecutive wins to take the match. Ken went on to beat {{Sm|Mew2King}} in losers semi-final 3-0, before losing to {{Sm|KoreanDJ}} in losers finals. Ken's 3rd place finish marked MLG Las Vegas 2006 as the first MLG finals he failed to win. | |||
{{Sm|PC Chris}} rolled through the bracket defeating Azen, Isai, and KoreanDJ in both winners finals and grand finals to take the tournament. | |||
