10 Cashes for Eric Baldwin at 2015 WSOP

Eric Baldwin has tallied 40 WSOP cashes in his illustrious poker career, with 10 of those coming this summer. A 430th place finish in the $777 Lucky 7s - Event #66 on the schedule - put Baldwin in a tie with Mark Radoja at 10, as both will aim to equal the record of 11 by cashing in the Main Event.

Baldwin's summer began with prize money of $5,615 for landing 448th in the record-breaking $565 Colossus. He followed that up with a payday of $7,254 for finishing 18th in $1,500 Pot Limit Hold'em.

Four cashes in NLHE events came next, the best of which was 15th place and $24,731 in prize money after buying in for $3,000. Baldwin then cashed in $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, finishing 27th out of 815 runners for $7,217.

Two more trips to the Rio cashier cage followed before Baldwin's min-cash in the Lucky 7s, as he lasted until 32nd place in a $5,000 NLHE Turbo event for $12,376, and grabbed another $1,832 by finishing 195th in a $1,500 Bounty tournament.

All told, Baldwin's 2015 WSOP cashes added $77,291 to his bankroll, minus buy-ins of $18,342. By comparison, Radoja's 10 in the money finishes were good for $86,440, less the entry fees of $29,111.

Both pros are on the heels of Konstantin Puchkov, who cashed 11 times in 2012. The Russian managed to land at two final tables while setting the record three years ago.

Baldwin won a WSOP gold bracelet in 2009 when he bested a field of 2,095 in $1,500 NLHE to take home $521,991 along with the WSOP bling. About a week later, the Wisconsin native finished 3rd in $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em for $259,534.

The biggest payday of Baldwin's career came a year later when he finished runner-up to David Williams at the Eighth Annual Five Star World Poker Classic. The entry fee of $25,500 was for high rollers, and resulted in 2nd place prize money of $1,034,715.

The Hendon Mob lists Baldwin's lifetime live earnings at $4,637,880. He has cashed in two previous WSOP Main Events, finishing 287th in 2012 for $38,453 and 59th in 2010 for $138,285.
