Minnesota at 2018 WSOP Recap

This is a review of the 2018 WSOP similar to what I have done in previous years.

2018 WSOP for MN Players by the Numbers (2017, 2016, 2015 values in parentheses)

• 78 (74, 69, 68) - # of events in the WSOP for the year
• 177 (198, 224, 115) - # of cashes made by MN Players
• 117 (121, 132, 87) - # if different MN players that cashed in events
• 32 (38, 40, 26) - # of MN players that cashed in more than one event
• 43 (48, 43, 35) - # of different events with at least on MN player cashing
• 7 (4, 4, 6) - # of final table seats for MN players
• 0 (0, 1, 2) - # of bracelets won by MN players
• $153,888 ($263,532, $190,328, $262,574) - largest cash by a MN player 
• $1,145,773 ($1,923,247, $1,432,344, $2,111,131) - total earnings by MN players
• 22 (16, 18, 16) - Minnesota's rank in earnings among states
• 27 (15, 21, 15) - Minnesota's rank in earnings per capita among states

Minnesota had a bit of a slump at the WSOP this year.  No bracelets and fewer cashes that the last two years.  Also our largest cash of the series is the smallest since I've started tracking. We had the most final tables (7) since I started tracking in 2015, but no first or second place finishes, a single third and two fifths were our best.

Over all I still think it's a solid showing, but I think we have room to do better.  (Keep in mind I'm saying this as a person who didn't even go to the WSOP this year. So I'm clearly not doing my part.)

Top Stories

• Ryan Laplante earned a phenomenal 11 cashes this year for $169,728 followed by Everett Carlton with 7 cashes for $13,500. These two have been leading the pack as long as I've been tracking.
• Jared Koppel and Aaron Johnson each earned five cashes for $27,577 and $10,433 respectively.
• Blake Bohn, Cody Espeseth, DJ Buckley, Dustin Nelson, Jason Seitz, Jeremy Dresch, Justin Lapka and Molly Mossey each earned three cashes for the series..
• Ryan Laplante earned the most for the series at $168,728 followed by Jeramiah Miesen with $153,888 for his sixth place finish in the Event 62 $888 NLHE.
