Minnesota at 2016 WSOP Recap

This is a review of Minnesota at the 2016 WSOP similar to what I did last year.

2016 WSOP for MN Players by the numbers (2015 values in parentheses)

• 224 (115)  - # of cashes made by MN Players
• 132 (87) - # if different MN players that cashed in events
• 40 (26) - # of MN players that cashed in more than one event
• 43 (35) - # of different events with at least on MN player cashing
• 4 (6) - # of MN players at final tables
• 1 (2) - # of bracelets won by MN players
• $1,432,344 ($2,111,131) - total earnings by MN players

Overall this was a better year for Minnesota.  Far more cashes, more events.  However not as many deep runs, so not as much money earned as last year.  There is a ton of variance in tournament poker, if Minnesota continues to have this many players do well, the money will come eventually.

Top stories

• Last year the most cashes by any MN player was six.  This year four players surpassed that.  Ryan Laplante cashed and astonishing 12 times for $232,153, including winning a bracelet in Event 12 $565 PLO.  
• Everett Carlton cashed 10 times for a total of $24,851
• John Marlowe cashed 8 times for $24,764.
• Jared Koppel cashed 7 times for $38,838.
• Kou Vang cashed 5 times for $19,188
• Aaron Johnson cashed 4 time for $108,521.  Johnson also finished highest in the main event at 72nd place.
• Gennady Shimelfarb, Joseph Barnard, Carl Carodenuto also each cashed 4 times. 

Comparisons

• Minnesota placed 18th in the earnings by state compared to 16th last year.
• Minnesota placed 21st in earnings by state per capita compared to 15th last year.
