Top Cash Game Players April 2026
Table of Contents
Together with StatName, we continue to cover the results of the best cash game players across different stakes and rooms over the past month. We try to highlight interesting patterns and standout performances at every limit, from NL10 all the way up to the overall rankings.
But first, as always, a few important notes:
- StatName tracks net profit at cash tables. Rakeback, leaderboard rewards, and promotional bonuses are not included in the statistics.
- StatName only tracks results at regular cash tables (fast-fold tables are excluded).
- StatName data may differ slightly from your HUD due to import inaccuracies, but the sample sizes remain representative and provide a reliable picture of player performance.
NL/PL10: Jelieva and Fercho8973 Each Made a $1.1K Profit

We’d heard of Jelieva before: he showed up near the top of our list of the biggest winners of all 2025 ($7.6K profit last year). Fercho8973, on the other hand, appeared in our rankings for the first time. So as you can see, it’s not just pros making the top lists — completely unknown players can get there too.
Jelieva crushed April with an insane win rate, averaging $0.64 won per hand. Just a reminder: these were $0.05/$0.10 blinds with a $10 buy-in.
NL/PL25: nastja336 Is the Top Player for the Second Month in a Row

In March, nastja336 topped the rankings with $2.3K in profit. April turned out to be even more profitable, with $2.4K in profit.
As a reminder, nastja336 has been a regular among the top players since 2019. However, they usually play NL50. Last year, they made the top 5 players with a $17,000 profit at $0.25/$0.50.
By the way, you can track an unlimited number of players for free on StatName up to NLH/PLO25.

NL/PL100: Mangilik Keeps Jumping Between Stakes and Landing Among the Top Players

NL/PL200: TRAN86 Finally Topped the Rankings
