By finishing in 11th place in the MSPT Venetian $1,600 Main Event for $26,753 a couple months back, Minnesota’s Rob Wazwaz, who has been competing in this tournament, notched his 25th MSPT Main Event cash and became the eighth player to ever play their way into the MSPT Hall of Fame.

Second, they can achieve a minimum of 10 MSPT Main Event final tables along with either an MSPT win or an MSPT Player of the year title.
For Wazwaz, his 25 Main Event cashes complimented his 2018 win in the MSPT Canterbury Park for $109,375. All told, Wazwaz has $349,559 in lifetime MSPT earnings including nine final table appearances.
