- Event #31: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em — finished 156th for $3,719 (source: WSOP.com data, but not included in CardPlayer search materials; WPT page also does not mention it. Note: The existing text referenced this data but it was not found in search materials, so it is not used. Based on CardPlayer, he has a 2012 WSOP record, but specific placements were not listed in search materials? Actually, CardPlayer only listed Event 38, so only Event 38 is written below.)
