As a mailman, I listen to various podcasts to pass the time while I'm delivering my route, including some poker podcasts. They often mention how many WSOP Bracelets and Final Tables a players has. But for older players, many of those successes came before the poker boom, which started with Chris Moneymaker's win of the 2003 Main Event.
To me, since the poker world changed in 2003, there should be WSOP stats that start after the poker boom. I've had this thought for a few years now, but have never found those stats.
So over the summer, I started playing around with this idea in my spare time. I ended up making a huge spreadsheat with results over the last 10 years, all the way back to the 2003 Main Event. I included all bracelet events except for the WSOP Circuit National Championship and the Casino Employees event. The National Championship is relatively new, and really has nothing to do with the WSOP. And with apologies to Chad Holloway, nobody of any significant has done anything in the Casino Employees event.
I decided to jot down all 1st and 2nd places, along with any 3rd places and Final Tables of player names that I recognize. Why 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? I don't know; Gold, Silver, and Bronze I guess. Here are what I determined to be a Final Table, which I believe is the same as the WSOP uses.
9 Players: All regular Hold'em and Omaha games
8 Players: All Stud games, HORSE, Heads-Up, and Mix-Max
6 Players: All 6-Max games, 2-7 games, 8-Game Mix, and 10-Game Mix
4 Players: All 4-Max games
One last thing before I give you the numbers. I didn't go back and triple check these results, so please forgive any errors.
Bracelets:
5 Phil Ivey, Jeffery Lisandro
4 Daniel Alaei, Phil Hellmuth,
Daniel Negreanu, Tom Schneider
3 6 Players
2 58 Players
1 401 Players
2nds: No big surprise that Phil Hellmuth is the leader with four runner-ups (Remember, he had three 2nds in 2011). However, the big surprise is that 15 players have three 2nd places, but eight of them did not win a bracelet during this time.
3rds:
3 Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri, Capt Tom Franklin,
Barry Greenstein, David "Devilfish" Ulliot
2 21 Players
Final Tables:
20 Phil Hellmuth, John Juanda, Daniel Negreanu
17 Phil Ivey
16 Jeffery Lisandro
15 Chris Bjorin, Barry Greenstein
14 Eric Seidel
13 Michael Mizrachi
The rest of this post will focus on players' results, broken down by various groups. The stat of Final Table will include all 1st, 2nd and 3rds. After all, it wouldn't make much sense to say someone has 2 1st, 1 3rd, 2 FT.
