4. Which Player ranks in the top 10 in tournaments players, but has cashed for less than $10,000 per tournament? (Meaning, for example, 65 tournaments played, cashing for less than $650,000) The answer is Tony Cousineau who’s played 79 events, cashed 10 times for $224,637. This is a good barometer for gauging success on the WPT. If a player has $500,000 in earning, but played in over 50 events, you have to assume they are stuck a pretty penny when you factor in travel expenses.
5. How many players record earning of over $2 million on the WPT? 33. Mathew Davidson just misses the list with $1,999,009. There are over 100 players with earning exceeding $1 million. 6. 6.

Joe Bartholdi won the WPT Championship and has not cashed in any other WPT event ever. 7. Of the top 5 all-time money leaders on the WPT, how many are American-Born? Michael Mizrachi is the only American-born player in the top 5: 1. Daniel Negreanu

How many players have made at least 3 WPT final tables in their career? The answer is 41. 99 players have made at least 2. 10. Who has the most WPT cashes without a win? His name is John Juanda and don’t think I don’t remind him of that on a regular basis, lol. John has 16 cashes, tied for 5th on that list but no wins. If you answered 0-3 correctly, then you aren’t paying enough attention to what’s happening in the poker world. If you answered 4-7 correctly, you follow closely enough without being too obsessed. If you answered 8-10 correctly, you are a biggest stats geek than I am and seriously need to get out more! ***************************************************************** OK, so my day one I think I ended up playing my hands well for the most part, but wasn’t focused the whole day. I chatted a lot, nice people at the table, and just didn’t feel all “there.” Made some good plays, a few timely bluffs here and there, but overall I didn’t pay enough attention to hands I was out of. Hopefully I’ll wake up and be ready tomorrow. I ended day one with 36,125 in chips. You can follow my progress at twitter (RealKidPoker)
