Solotrombone Tops 2020 MPT Money List

 

Following one of the few years when Solotrombone failed to cash in an MPT event, he rebounded to top the season-ending money list for the first time in his career. With a second place in the first event of the season and a third place cash in the Main Event bracketing two wins, in June and late November Solotrombone finished well ahead of RowanB, who finished second on the money list for the fifth time in his MPT career, two more runner-up finishes than Harv29, the only other player to finish second on the money list more than once in MPT history. The $92.50 winning margin was the fourth largest in MPT history, topped only by Bigfus over Harv29 in 2011, Sass over RowanB in 2009, and New Norman/Noahcat over RowanB in 2016.

Tie for 2012 MPT Money List Winner!

For the first time since 2009, someone other than Bigfus finished atop the season ending money list.  Actually two players tied.  As a result of the decision to chop the winner and runner-up share during the 2012 Main Event, Bigfus' second victory of the season was not enough to catapult her past RowanB into the money lead, but did vault Main Event runner-up Amazon into a tie for the top spot.

2012 marks the first ever tie for the money lead and the closest race in MPT history, as only $10 separated third-place Bigfus from winners RowanB and Amazon.


Here is the complete list of money leaders for the 2012 season.

1. RowanB ($195)
1. Amazon ($195)
3. Bigfus ($185)
4. Noahcat ($90)
4. Solotrombone ($90)
6. Ghosthunter ($70)
7. Harv29 ($65)
8. Sionow ($45)

Bigfus Tops 2011 MPT Money List

Bigfus did it again.  For the third time in her career she topped the Mattress Poker Tour (MPT) money list, winning more than any of her competitors by a wide margin in the 2011 season.  Bigfus cashed in five out of seven events to finish just $5 short of her all-time record for winnings in a season, set last year.  Harv29 was her closest competitor, as he topped his previous season best by $5, winning $280 this season, good enough for runner-up on the money list.  Harv29 started cashing in the first three events of the season, which he topped off by winning the year's biggest prize as champion of the Las Vegas Spectacular, before earning his third career Main event cash.

Here is the complete list of money leaders for the 2011 season.

Bigfus Tops 2010 MPT Money List

Two players dominated the 2010 Mattress Poker Tour (MPT) season. TSS777 won three tournaments, but Bigfus cashed in six out of seven events and joined TSS777 and the only player to win more than one tournament in a single season. Her record $495 in a single season, topped the previous single season record, also held by Bigfus in the 2008 season.

Here is the complete list of money leaders for the 2010 season.

Sass Tops 2009 MPT Money List

In a season where no player won more than one Mattress Poker Tour (MPT) event, consistency paid off for Sass. A third place finish in the season opening event, followed by four second places in the next five tournaments fueled Sass' run toward Player of the Year and Rising Star; you can now add 2009 money leader to her list of accomplishments.

Sass' $320 earned in this season's tournaments fell just five dollars short of the single season record $325, earned by Bigfus during the 2008 season, which included one more tournament than this year. Averaging nearly $46 per event led to a profitable season for the MPT's most accomplished veteran yet to take home a trophy and moved Sass to withing striking distance of Bigfus for the all-time money lead, with $495 in career earnings.

Here is the complete list of money leaders for the 2009 season.

1. Sass ($320)
2. RowanB ($220)

Bigfus Finishes as 2008 Leading Money Winner

Fueled by an astonishing seven cashes in eight events this season, Bigfus, the MPT's most successful player yet to earn a victory, finished the season as the leading money winner with $325 in prize money, averaging $41 per event. Her "average cash" was second only to two-time champion Amazon, who averaged $65 per event she played, among those who played in more than one tournament during the season.

The consistent performances for Bigfus put her in contention for the Sealy Cup throughout the season and also vaulted her to the top of the career money leaders, with $425 in prize money over the last three seasons. Bigfus will look to extend her streak of cashing in five straight events when the 2009 season begins.
