WSOP Top 10 Tuesday - from the World's Greatest Unknown WSOP Historian

I was surprised it missed that badly on the bridge trick too.

That's me telling the story of a hand I recently played, but I couldn't remember what my cards were.

WSOP Europe debuted in 2007 and has been held a total of 16 times through 2025 (every year but 2014, 2016, and 2020). A total of 158 bracelets have been awarded, which is a large enough sample size for the following meaningful stats.

Most Bracelets

• 2. 13 players tied, 2
  
  
• 1. Martin Kabrhel, 4 bracelets
  

The 13 players tied with two bracelets are Alessandro Pichierri, Andriy Lyubovetskiy, Anson Tsang, Asi Moshe, Darius Neagoe, Emil Bise, Ermanno Di Nicola, Julien Martini, Kahle Burns, Omar Eljach, Roger Hairabedian, Simone Andrian, and Tobias Peters.

Most Final Tables

• 8. Daniel Negreanu, 6 final tables
  
  
• 8. Jason Mercier, 6 final tables
  
  
• 8. Manig Loeser, 6 final tables
  
  
• 8. Mikkel Plum, 6 final tables
  
  
• 8. Omar Eljach, 6 final tables
  
  
• 5. Oleksii Kovalchuk, 7 final tables
  
  
• 5. Timothy Adams, 7 final tables
  
  
• 5. Tobias Peters, 7 final tables
  
  
• 2. Anson Tsang, 8 final tables

• 3. Michal Mrakes, 29 cashes
  
  
• 3. Tobias Peters, 29 cashes
  
  
• 2. Martin Kabrhel, 33 cashes
  
  
• 1. Roland Israelashvili, 38 cashes
  

Most Winnings

• 10. Omar Eljach, $2,076,991
  
  
• 9. David Peters, $2,260,670
  
  
• 8. Andreas Eiler, $2,511,762
  
  
• 7. Daniel Negreanu, $2,670,539
  
  
• 6. Mikita Badziakouski, $2,978,430
  
  
• 5. Christoph Vogelsang, $3,105,540
  
  
• 4. James Chen, $3,197,146
  
  
• 3. Chin Wei Lim, $4,370,153
  
  
• 2. Martin Kabrhel, $5,123,598
  
  
• 1. Dominik Nitsche, $5,533,707
  

Martin Kabrhel rules WSOP Europe with the most bracelets and final tables plus the second most cashes and earnings. The 2017 €1,100 Super Turbo Bounty, 2018 €100,000 King's Super High Roller, 2024 €50,000 High Roller, and 2025 €10,000 PLO Mystery Bounty make up 4 of his 5 career bracelets.

Women have had worse results in Europe than they've had in Las Vegas or online or even at Paradise Island, with the main exception of Annette Obrestad's record-setting win in the 2007 Main Event, which makes her the only woman over $1 million let alone $2 million. Vivian Saliba is the only woman to reach more than one final table, and she owns the only other open bracelet.

Most Bracelets, Women

• 1. Jackie Glazier, 1 bracelet -- 2013 Ladies Championship (the only time it counted as a bracelet)
  
  
• 1. Vivian Saliba, 1 bracelet -- 2024 €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha
  
  
• 1. Annette Obrestad, 1 bracelet -- 2007 Main Event

These are the most important WSOP records that lasted the longest. Some streaks have ended while others are still active (noted with a '+').

Longest Lasting Records

• 10. 20 years: Doyle Brunson won bracelets 29 years apart (1976 and 2005). Phil Hellmuth tied the record in 2018 and broke it in 2023 (34 years since his first bracelet, the 1989 Main Event).
  
  
• 9. 21 years: An Tran cashed 7 times in just 20 events in 1992. This record last until Chris Ferguson made the money 8 times in 2003.
  
  
• 8. 21 to 27 years: Jeff Sandow became the youngest bracelet winner ($500 Seven-Card Stud) in 1977 at age 23, smashing the previous record of 34 held by Billy Baxter. As his birthday is unknown, his record lasted either until 1998 (Daniel Negreanu, 23 years and 9 months) or 2000 (Phil Ivey, 23 years and 3 months) or 2004 (Gavin Griffin, 22 years and 9 months).
  
  
• 7. 23 years: Phil Ivey became the youngest player with four career bracelets at age 25 in 2002 (he also became the youngest to 5 in 2005).
  
  
• 6. 28 years: Phil Hellmuth became the youngest player with six career bracelets at age 32 in 1997.
  
  
• 5. 29 years: An Tran made a record 6 final tables in just 20 events in 1992. His mark was tied by George Danzer in 2014 and John Monnette in 2016 when there were 65 and 69 events respectively, and only topped after 29 years. Incredibly, three players broke it on the same day: November 21, 2021. Daniel Negreanu and Joao Vieira got there first at 4:52 p.m., and Phil Hellmuth joined them at 7:50 p.m. (even though his event had started a day earlier). The new record came in a year with 188 bracelet events, more than nine times as many as in 1992.
  
  
• 4. 37+ years: Johnny Moss became the oldest open bracelet winner at age 80 years, 11 months, and 17 days when he won the 1988 $1,500 Limit Ace-to-Five Draw.
  
  
• 3. 46+ years: Johnny Moss won 7 bracelets in the 1970s. Phil Ivey tied this mark in the 2000s, but nobody has topped it.
  
  
• 2. 52+ years: Puggy Pearson won 3 bracelets in just seven 1973 tournaments. 20 years passed before Phil Hellmuth and Ted Forrest tied the record in 1993. The record has since been matched by 5 other players, but nobody has gotten 4 yet.
  
  
• 1. 55+ years: Johnny Moss was the first world champ at age 62 years, 11 months, and 24 days in 1970 and increased his age record to just shy of 64 in 1971 and nearly 67 in 1974. Only one other player has won in his sixties (Noel Furlong, 61 in 1999).
  

8. 21 to 27 years: Jeff Sandow became the youngest bracelet winner ($500 Seven-Card Stud) in 1977 at age 23, smashing the previous record of 34 held by Billy Baxter. As his birthday is unknown, his record lasted either until 1998 (Daniel Negreanu, 23 years and 9 months) or 2000 (Phil Ivey, 23 years and 3 months) or 2004 (Gavin Griffin, 22 years and 9 months).

If you don't count the november nine delay, does Joe Cada break the record?

Cada broke the Main Event age record (set by Peter Eastgate just one year before), and has now held that record 16 years, a few years short of making this list. The delay counts but is only a few months anyway (think of it as the "age at which he won the bracelet", not the awkward "age at which he entered the event that he won").

Longest Lasting Women's Records

• 10. 10 years: Vanessa Selbst won her career record third open event in 2014. Kristen Foxen tied her in 2023 and passed her in 2024.
  
  
• 9. 11+ years: Kathy Liebert passed Annie Duke with her 39th career cash in 2014 and has 129 through 2024.
  
  
• 8. 13 years: Annette Obrestad won the 2007 WSOP Europe Main Event for €2,000,000 ($2,013,733), a female record that lasted until 2020 when Wenling Gao won $2,748,605 for second place in the $5,000 Online Main Event.
  
  
• 7. 14 years: Vera Richmond was the first woman to win an open event, the 1982 $1,000 Limit Ace-to-Five Draw, and was the only one until 1996 when Barbara Enright joined her in the winner's circle. [Technically, this record is #1 at 43+ years, but it seems weird to have a record of one that's been tied nearly 100 times.]
  
  
• 6. 18+ years: Annette Obrestad became the youngest bracelet winner by capturing the first WSOP Europe Main Event in 2007 one day shy of her 19th birthday. This is the only record on this list that doesn't need a gender qualification.
  
  
• 5. 19 years: Cyndy Violette made at least one final table in six straight years, 2001 to 2006.
  
  
• 2. 21 years: Annie Duke cashed in four open events in 1995 to become the women's career leader at 7 and was finally passed in 2016 by Kathy Liebert (41 to 38).
  
  
• 3. 24+ years: Nani Dollison won a record two bracelets in 2001 ($2,000 Limit Hold 'Em & Ladies Championship).
  
  
• 2. 30+ years: Barbara Enright finished fifth in the 1995 Main Event, the best place ever for a woman.
  
  
• 1. 30+ years: Annie Duke has been the women's career open final table leader since notching her third in 1995, steadily increasing her total to 15 in 2009. She has led by at least 3 since 1996 and by at least 4 since 2001. Including Ladies events, which she never played, Duke has also been the final tables leader since 2003.
  

I’m too tired/lazy to search the thread but how many podiums does TJ have?

3/4/25:
9. T.J. Cloutier: 15 medals (6 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze)

Back on February 25, I posted the Largest WSOP Prizes ever won but neglected to follow up with this obvious list...

With Natasha Mercier collecting $1,800,000 for 6th place in the Paradise Island $25,000 Super Main Event, seven women have won million-dollar WSOP prizes, and twelve have won at least half a million dollars.

Largest WSOP Prizes, Women

• 10. Elisabeth Hille: $590,442, 11th in 2012 Main Event.
  
  
• 10. Gaelle Bauman: $590,442, 10th in 2012 Main Event.
  
  
• 9. Esther Taylor: 595,136, 3rd in 2025 $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
  
  
• 8. Allyn Shulman: $603,713, 1st in 2012 Seniors Championship.
  
  
• 7. Christine Do: $1,072,405, 4th in 2021 Online $5,000 Main Event.
  
  
• 6. Leo Margets: $1,500,000, 7th in 2025 Main Event.
  
  
• 5. Sosia Jiang: $1,605,000, 8th in 2024 Paradise Island $500,000 Triton Million.
  
  
• 4. Natasha Mercier: $1,800,000, 6th in 2025 Paradise Island $25,000 Super Main Event.
  
  
• 3. Annette Obrestad: $2,013,733, 1st in 2007 WSOP Europe Main Event.
  
  
• 2. Wenling Gao: $2,748,605, 2nd in 2020 Online $5,000 Main Event.
  
  
• 1. Liv Boeree: $2,800,000, 2024 Paradise Island $25,000 Main Event.
  

Lisa Meredith just misses the Top 10 with her $500,000 cash for 3rd place in the 2016 $1,500 Millionaire Maker.

This is all relative as all but four of the heads-up deniers won at least one other bracelet...

"Worst" Players to Beat Phil Hellmuth Heads Up for a Bracelet

• 10. Jeremy Ausmus, who won the 2021 $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha for the third of his six bracelets and $1,188,918, has reached 25 other final tables.
  
  
• 9. Ted Forrest, who won the 2014 $1,500 Razz for the last of his six bracelets and $121,196, has reached 14 other final tables.
  
  
• 8. Scotty Nguyen, who won the 2001 $5,000 Omaha Hi/Lo Split Eight or Better for the fourth of his five bracelets, including one Main Event title, has reached 21 other final tables.
  
  
• 7. John Juanda, who won the 2011 $10,000 No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw World Championship for his fifth and last bracelet and $367,170, has reached 31 other final tables.
  
  
• 6. Adam Friedman, who won the 2021 $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Max Championship for the fourth of his five bracelets and $248,350, has reached ten other final tables.
  
  
• 5. David Jackson, who won the 2022 $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold 'Em ($598,173) for his second bracelet, has reached four other final tables but is more of a Circuit guy (3 rings).
  
  
• 4. George Rodis, who won the 1994 $1,500 No-Limit Hold 'Em ($187,800) has just three other cashes, although two were final tables.
  
  
• 3. Eric Rodawig, who won the 2011 $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo Championship ($442,183), has 22 cashes and 7 final tables, including his own runner-up finish in the 2017 $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship.
  
  
• 2. Besim Hot, who won the 2019 WSOP Europe €25,000 Mixed Games Championship ($431,181), has just two other career cashes, although one was a fifth place finish for $185,798 four days earlier.
  
  
• 1. Jeff Cabanillas, who won the 2006 $5,000 No-Limit Hold 'Em ($818,546), has just two other cashes (789th in 2006 Main Event for $15,504 and 124th in 2007 $1,500 No-Limit Hold 'Em for $5,115).
  

The other players who beat Hellmuth heads up were Billy Baxter (7 bracelets), Brian Rast (7), Erik Seidel (10), and Johnny Chan (10 including two Main Events).

Nine of the players to defeat Hellmuth heads up have at least five bracelets, and six are in the Poker Hall of Fame (Chan, Baxter, Seidel, Nguyen, Juanda, and Rast)!

One of my favorite types of wordplay is the anagram. When I played online poker back before Black Friday, my handle was PokeTheRat, an anagram of my defunct iOS app, THETA Poker.

I was surprised when Liv Boeree only very belatedly discovered that her name anagrammed to I Love Beer. I wish I'd beaten her to it, but she's had much more success outside of the WSOP and hadn't won her bracelet yet, so she wasn't really on my mind.

From 1992 to 2013, John Vorhaus wrote several columns for CardPlayer and Poker Digest magazines featuring poker player anagrams and also included them in his books. He also missed the obvious Boeree anagram, offering the tepid "Eve Boiler" instead.

Here are my favorites of his (I'll give just the anagrams first, so you can figure them out on your own as a puzzle if you like.

Thanks, that was actually my guess (transposing the first two names), but for some reason I couldn't be bothered to Google, and I would've failed anyway. It seems she mostly goes by "Dusti" with an "I".

Not as strong as the players who beat him but still pretty impressive. The top 10 have all won bracelets or reached the Main Event final table.

BullyEyelash created this list, but I inserted Steven Wolansky at #8, evicting his Steve Kopp/Noli Francisco #10 tie.
