Major Live Tournament Results

2012 World Series of Poker (WSOP)

At the 43rd WSOP in 2012, Canelas-Miller cashed twice:

  • 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.)
  • In fact, search materials from CardPlayer only list Event 38: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em — finished 245th for $2,771.
