Previous Best Finishes for the Final 69 in the 2015 WSOP Main Event
There are just 69 players left in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event entering Monday's Day 6. Of those remaining, nine of them are future members of the November Nine, and one of them will be a $7.68 million winner.
The penultimate day of WSOP summer action is littered with notable faces and plenty of stories, but for some they've been here before. That's why PokerNews wanted to explore each of the 69 competitors left to see just how deep each has previously gone in the big one. The table below does just that. It ranks each player in descending order of starting chip counts for Day 6. On each row, you will see that player's previous best result in the WSOP Main Event.
Of the remaining batch, 41 have never previously cashed in the WSOP Main Event, according to records PokerNews could find. Of the other 28 that have reached the money before, there are four top-20 finishes. The best previous finish belongs to Matt Jarvis, who took eighth from a field of 7,319 in the 2010 WSOP Main Event for $1.045 million. Only three other players — Brian Hastings, Anton Morgenstern, and Bob Buckenmayer — have previously earned a six-figure score in this event.
