Statistical Notes Following MPT 2020 Event #6

Observations following another Virtual MPT, the sixth event of the 2020 season, played on Pokerstars.net on September 20, 2020.

  • Sass became the fourth player in history to play in at least 50 MPT events
  • JTinLV moved past Judykq and into a tie with Solotrombone for 8th place on the all-time appearances list.

  • Syrorange3042 is the sixth different MPT winner this season
  • Syrorange3042 became the 10th different player to win more than one event in his MPT career
  • All of Syrorange3042's career victories have been in September (including a win in the inaugural non-points paying MPT in 2016)
  • Syrorange3042 set the record for longest time period between victories in MPT history, at 4,012 days between his win in September 2009 and his win in September 2020

  • The Sealy Cup race remains close, as four players are within 11 points of the top spot
  • Syrorange3042's win combined with Harv29's rare early exit moved him to the top of the season standings, while Harv29 remained in second place, 9 points back
  • Syrorange3042's 72 Player of the Year points already rank as the fourth highest single season point total in MPT history, trailing only Bigfus (in 2010 and 2011) and TSS777 (in 2010).

  • Syrorange3042 moved into a tie with Harv29 at the top of the season money list
  • Despite his fourth cash of the season, with his only win coming in the smallest event of the season, RowanB remains mired in the middle of the pack on the season money list, moving up one spot into sixth place

  • Syrorange3042 became the seventh player in MPT history to earn 20 or more points in a single event more than once in his MPT career, joining TSS777, Betdponies, RowanB, and Sionow, each of whom has also accomplished this feat twice, and Harv29 and Skiteacher, who have done so three times in their MPT careers

  • By earning his third straight finish in the money, RowanB tied Harv29 for second place on the all-time list of cashes, though Bigfus extended her lead in that category with her 29th career cash
  • RowanB's four cashes this season have already tied his personal best for a single season, accomplished in 2009, and this marks the first time since 2011 that any player has cashed that many times in a season
  • Syrorange3042 moved in the top ten in career cashes, tying JTinLV and Skiteacher for 10th place all-time
  • ru47suited became the 29th player to cash in more than one MPT event
  • Bigfus ended a streak of five straight tournaments outside the money, the second longest cashless streak in her MPT career

  • JTinLV tied Judykq for tenth place on the all-time "kills" list, by eliminating the 14th opponent in his MPT career

  • JTinLV became the ninth player in MPT history to be eliminated on the bubble three times, tying TSS777, Amazon, and Ging for sixth place on the all-time bubble list

  • Harv29 slid out of the top spot in all-time best average finish, allowing the idle Solotrombone to once again top that list
  • Harv29 moved into solo possession of sixth place on the all-time list of last place finishes, becoming the first player eliminated from a tournament for only the 4th time in his long MPT career
