Nikolai Evdakov last year picked up the record for most cashes in a year at the WSOP, a record that gave him the unflattering name, 'The Cockroach', a tribute to his survival instincts.
It should come as no surprise that he's already on his way to cash #1 of 2009. The Russian is sitting with a healthy 18,000 at the moment with only 660 players left of Day 1b.
