Since there were 5,268 cashes in 55 events, this is taking awhile. Some of the most popular player’s results: (If your favorite isn’t listed, I may not have wanted to embarrass them by showing a low number) I stopped the list last week with these players. That’s where we’ll start this week. All mistakes are my own. J. C. Tran a disappointing $31,804 as the pre-start favorite.
