Steve Houle: {10-}{8-}

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nick Wilken open-jammed under the gun for 23,000, both Justin Barnum and David Gonia called from the blinds.

The {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} board was checked to showdown.

Wilken quickly rolled over {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for aces and kings which was good enough to scoop the pot as Barnum mucked {7-}{7-} and Gonia held {k-}{q-}.

Dennis Stevermer: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Chris Knapp: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Stevermer held the inferior pocket pair and couldn't find a set as he re-entered the tournament after the {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{a-Spades} board ran out.

Since its inception in 2009, the MSPT has done a great job keeping track of player stats. As a result, 13 years on they have one of the best player databases in the industry.

On their "Leaderboards" page, the MSPT tracks such things as Career Earnings, Main Event Cashes, Main Event Final Tables, Main Event Titles, Total Cashes, Most Cashes/Final Tables in a Season, Most Final Tables All-Time, and much more.

Here's a look at the players who have cashed the most this season so far:

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Joe Matheson
Joe Matheson

Joe Matheson raised to 3,500 from middle position only to have Bradley Beetz three-bet to 7,000 from the cutoff.

Action folded back to Matheson who four-bet jammed for roughly 50,000 and Beetz snap-called.

Joe Matheson: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Bradley Beetz: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Matheson woke-up with kings at the wrong time and the {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop left him drawing to running cowboys.

Unfortunately for Matheson, the {3-Hearts} turn left him drawing dead and the {5-Hearts} river ended his Day 1a run.
