Let's pick out a player from the Main Event and try to find all the poker statistics of the player. We will highlight
Alexandru Budai from Romania.
Alexandru has got over $100,000 in live career earnings following TheHendonMob (world's biggest poker search engine). His best live poker cash was $55,603 which he scored back in March from this year in Bratislava, not bad for a $300 buy-in. He topped a field of 1,088 players, so he experienced to win a sized Main Event before.
When looking further in his records, we can find that the buy-ins all remain in the same range. However, what people tend to forget is that these scores are 'only scores'. It doesn't mention how many attempts were needed for this. What we do find interesting is that he just started to have his cashes from 2021 onwards, implying that he only started playing from around that period. To have $100,000 in cashes behind your name within 3 playing years, is quite impressive nowadays still.
The location of the cashes only happened in the Eastern side of Europe, which is again quite logical when you live in Romania.
Currently, he unfortunately busted in the Main Event 1c, but we are quite positive he will return to fire another bullet in perhaps the turbo flight which starts at 21:00 CET.
