Lifetime Winnings

Out of everyone at the final table, Paul Wasicka is the leader in lifetime career tournament earnings. After picking up a second place finish at the 2006 WSOP in Las Vegas, Wasicka has well over $6.4 million. JC Tran earned almost $3 million total and that does not include online cashes. He won the PokerStars WCOOP Championship at the end of 2006. Chau Giang has $2 million plus in tournament winnings. However, his overall lifetime winning in cash games puts him over the top. He regularly plays in the Big Game in Las Vegas with Doyle Brunson, Bobby Baldwin, and Barry Greenstein. Eric Hershler is playing in his first tournament ever and has $0 career earnings.
