According to WSOP.com, he has 4 career cashes totaling $192,057, with one final table appearance. He has not won a bracelet or ring but has demonstrated consistency in large-field tournaments.

McConville's most notable performance came in the 2009 WSOP Event #7: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, where he finished 5th out of 2,791 entrants, earning $145,721 – his largest career payout. That same year, he placed 424th in the WSOP Main Event ($10,000 No-Limit Hold'em) for $27,469.
