• The Virtual MPT I was the fourth shortest tournament in MPT history
• Syrorange3042 tied Dorianmac for the longest gap in between MPT tournaments played, with 31 events since he last participated, though Syrorange3042's gap between tournaments was more than nine years (3,534 days) compared with nearly seven years for Dorianmac (2,555 days).
• Scurvydog then obliterated the record for longest gap between tournaments played, returning for the first time in well over eleven years, a gap of 46 events since his last MPT event in 2008.
• Harv29 moved into sole possession of third place on the all-time MPT win list, with his seventh career victory
• Sionow moved into a 5-way tie for the second longest streak of cashes in consecutive tournaments he played, extending that run to four events, trailing only Bigfus' six straight cashes in 2008-2009.
• Skiteacher extended his streak of consecutive tournaments without a cash to seven, tying RowanB for the 5th longest stretch of tournaments outside the money
