Minnesota at 2017 WSOP Recap

This is a review of the 2017 WSOP similar to what I have done is previous years.  It's a little bit late because I was on vacation out of town and just got too lazy to update all of this information.

2017 WSOP for MN Players by the numbers (2016, 2015 values in parentheses)

• 198 (224, 115) - # of cashes made by MN Players
• 121 (132, 87) - # if different MN players that cashed in events
• 38 (40, 26) - # of MN players that cashed in more than one event
• 48 (43, 35) - # of different events with at least on MN player cashing
• 4 (4, 6) - # of final table seats for MN players
• 0 (1, 2) - # of bracelets won by MN players
• $263,532 ($190,328, $262,574) - largest cash by a MN player 
• $1,923,247 ($1,432,344, $2,111,131) - total earnings by MN players
• 74 (69, 68) - # of WSOP events
• 16 (18, 16) - Minnesota's rank in earnings among states
• 15 (21, 15) - Minnesota's rank in earnings per capita among states

It's hard to compare the 2017 WSOP results to 2016 and 2015 results.  Minnesotans cashed in more events that ever before, but there were also 74 events compared to 69 last year. We earned more money than 2016, but not quite as much as 2015.  Overall this is a very respectable year and Minnesotans can be proud of their WSOP results.

Top stories

• Last year Ryan Laplante and Everett Carlton earned a 12 and 10 cashes respectively.  This year Carlton earned 7 and Laplante 6.  Still very respectable, but not the unworldly performance from last year.

• Ryan Laplante cashed 6 times for $204,168
