The WSOP's results lists are worse than ever this year. I can't remember ever seeing so many gaps or so many repetitions. If you think you have a player who hasn't been credited, let us know.

MintTrav:
Who has banked the most cash so far? That's right, it's the WSOP.

Long Ma received an incredible $513k for winning The Reunion. Even more incredible was the $1.038m that the WSOP retained from that one tournament.

Puts UK operators' rake into perspective.

Another win for Canada. Canada used to win plenty of bracelets, but has really underperformed in recent years. It still has many more cashes every year than every country except the US, but they just haven't been able to covert them, to the extent that the three won in 2019 was the highest since the glory days of 2013, when they won ten. 2021 looks like it could be the year that Canada retakes its rightful place.

Rob Mizrachi and Phil Hellmuth were playing their second final tables of the Series and several others already have two or three cashes. Rob was 3rd in #5 (the $1,500 Hi-Lo) and 7th in this, but he wasn't the only one to do well in both. Khamar Xaytavone was 15th in #5 and 9th in this, while Engel cashed 43rd in the $1,500 before winning his second bracelet in this one against a starry field. Ryan Laplante was another to pick up his second cash.

Jon Young used his poker-industry knowledge to build some points.

MintTrav:

And what about Hellmuth? Written off years ago by people who didn't know what they talking about, he has continued to perform outstandingly at the World Series and elsewhere. One of the criticisms used to be that he had 'only' won bracelets in big-field Hold-em events, as if there was something wrong with that. That has been put to bed as he has repeatedly scored highly in mixed-game events, crowned by winning a Razz bracelet in 2015. Since then, he has won two WPT titles and been runner-up once, one of the wins being a Heads-Up tournament and the other two events being mixed games. He has also finished 2nd and 3rd in WSOPE mixed events and picked up another large-field Hold'em bracelet. More recently, he has demonstrated his Heads-Up abilities, with numerous one-on-one wins, including whipping Esfandiari and Negreanu three times each. He has played three tournaments in this Series and his worst finish is 18th, with two final tables. Surely everyone now accepts that this is the greatest poker player ever?
