Observations following another Virtual MPT, the eighth event of the 2020 season, played on Pokerstars.net on November 29, 2020.
- This was the shortest tournament in MPT history, finishing in 1 hour 43 minutes, eight minutes faster than the 2007 Showdown at Showboat and ECLVA Summer Classic
- Solotrombone became the only the sixth different player and first person since 2015 to win more than one event in a single MPT season
- Solotrombone broke out of a three-way tie to take sole possession of sixth place on the all-time wins list
- RowanB tied Sass for the second most all-time runner-up finishes with nine, trailing only Bigfus's twelve second place finishes
- RowanB's five cashes this season tie him with Harv29 (2008), Sass (2009), and Bigfus (2011) for the third most finishes in the money by a single player in a single season, trailing only Bigfus (2008 and 2010)
- RowanB broke a tie with Harv29 for second place on the all-time cashes list, moving within two places of Bigfus for the all-time lead in that category
- Solotrombone passed Sionow for the top spot in the season money standings
- JTinLV tied Skiteacher for tenth place on the all-time money list
- Solotrombone closed to within seven points of Syrorange3042's season point lead, while RowanB also gained ground, now trailing by only 11 points
- Solotrombone regained the top spot on the all-time player ratings list, passing the idle TSS777, while Syrorange3042 dropped back behind Bigfus in four place on the all-time ranking list
- Syrorange3042 tied Bigfus for fourth place on the all-time list for most finishes on the bubble, with five, needing only 11 events to do so
- This event tied the October 2008 "Bounty Bowl" and the tournament earlier in November for the most bounties awarded in a single event, with six
- Solotrombone's win with a bounty for knocking him out marked the first time a player has collected a bounty on themself since Harv29 did so in December, 2015
- Solotrombone's five "kills" put him in an eight-way tie for tenth place for the most players eliminated in a single event
- Solotrombone moved past Sionow into eighth place on the all-time "kills" list
- JTinLV also moved out of a tie with Judykq to take sole possession of tenth place on the all-time "kills" list
- Sionow finished in last place for the first time in his MPT career, surviving his first 16 tournaments without being eliminated first, trailing only TSS777 (24), Amazon (23), and Bigfus (17) for this longest streak without a last place to start anyone's MPT career.
- Syrorange3042 is now the player who has played the most events (11) without ever finishing last
