WSOP Results
1997 WSOP Event #2: $1,500 Limit Razz
Haugan's first WSOP cash came in 1997 in a $1,500 Limit Razz tournament. Razz is a lowball variant of stud poker where the lowest hand wins. The event attracted 160 entrants, and Haugan finished in 10th place, earning $3,600. This result placed him in the top 6.25% of the field.
2004 WSOP Event #28: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em
Seven years later, Haugan cashed again in the 2004 WSOP at a $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em event. The Seniors tournament is open to players aged 50 and older. With 519 participants, the field was significantly larger than his previous event. Haugan placed 22nd, earning $2,360, which placed him in the top 4.2% of the field.
Analysis
Haugan's two WSOP cashes span across different poker variants: Limit Razz and No-Limit Hold'em. This suggests a degree of versatility in his game. Both events had sizable fields, and his finishes placed him in the top 10% of competitors. Although his total earnings are modest, his ability to cash in two separate WSOP series indicates sustained skill and adaptability. Notably, his second cash came in a Seniors event, implying he was at least 50 years old at the time.
Without additional recorded results, it is difficult to assess his overall poker career. However, these two cashes remain his only documented live tournament successes in WSOP history.

Peter Haugan's two WSOP cashes may not place him among the elite of poker, but they represent a steady participation in the world's most prestigious poker series. For recreational and semi-professional players, such results are commendable. His appearances in both a specialty game (Razz) and mainstream No-Limit Hold'em show a willingness to compete across formats.
Conclusion
In summary, Peter Haugan is a poker player with two WSOP cashes totaling $5,960. His best finish was 10th in a 1997 Limit Razz event, followed by 22nd in the 2004 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em.
