Jamie Gold finally had to relinquish his place at the top of the all time money list for poker tournaments, dropping down to third behind Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey. Gold had held the top spot ever since his $12 million WSOP win in 2006 which is his only major cash. In total eight players have cashed more than 10 million dollars. Hendon Mob also provides an inflation adjusted list which makes it possible to compare old wins with recent cashes.

On the "inflation adjusted list" players like Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan make big leaps upwards thanks to their major wins in the 1970's and 1980's. However, overall there are not so many changes which reflects the fact that there weren't that many tournaments played pre-poker boom.

1. Daniel Negreanu $13.83m
2. Phil Hellmuth $13.82m
