A 318th place finish in the Little One for One Drop was the 10th WSOP cash this summer for Mark Radoja, putting him only one behind the record of 11 set by Konstantin Puchkov three years ago.

Little Drop was the 61st event of the summer, leaving seven more on the schedule including the Main Event. Radoja's 10 cashes have all come in No Limit Hold'em events. Of the seven remaining tournaments at the 2015 WSOP, four are NLHE, with H.O.R.S.E., Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better, and Dealer's Choice making up the other three.

The deepest run of the 10 cashes recorded by Radoja was 12th place in Event #37, the $10,000 NLHE Six Handed Championship. That payday amounted to $36,275.

The Canadian pro reached five figures in cashes in only two other events - for finishing 36th in Event #2 after buying in for $5,000 and earning $11,523, and paying the same entry fee in Event #25 and landing in 39th place, which was good for $11,515.

Tallying up Radoja's ten cashes at this year's WSOP, we find the 30-year-old with winnings of $86,440. The buy-ins for those 10 events amounted to $29,111.

One of the cashes wasn't even profitable. Radoja got a return of $1,000 for finishing 428th in the $1,500 Draft Kings 50/50 event that paid half the field, according to the Hendon Mob.

For his career, Radoja has racked up $1,906,953 in winnings. That includes a WSOP title in 2013 in $10,000 NLHE Heads-Up that garnered 1st place prize money of $336,190. He won his first WSOP gold bracelet two years earlier in $5,000 NLHE Shootout, topping a field of 387 to grab $436,568.

Best of luck to Mark Radoja in his quest to tie or perhaps surpass the record!
