Cake Poker Players Cashing In at 2010 WSOP

Cake Poker VIP Steve Frasure earned his first WSOP cash of 2010 today.

The days are long and the competition is tough, but our Cake Poker players continue to make a good showing here at the 2010 World Series of Poker. 

The main man so far is Justin Gardenhire, whose 21st-place cash in the $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha is the best result for any of our guys so far. Justin also has two other cashes in previous events to go along with that PLO score, giving him a total of $18,942 in earnings so far this WSOP. Only 14 players have more cashes than Justin does this year, and some of the players who have cashed the same number of times as he has – - are among the best-known in poker. Justin says he’s going to keep playing throughout the rest of the Series, and with the way he’s focused in right now it would be no surprise if he added a few more cashes and maybe even a final table before all is through.

Several other Cake players have done well here in Vegas. Joe Curcio cashed in a $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event for $1,834 earlier in the Series, and Will Tonking took 56th place in another $1,000 event for $6,571 earlier this week. And just today, Steve Frasure finished in 115th place in Event #30, $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em, for a score of $3,878. Steve will also be playing in tomorrow’s Seniors Event, and possibly on Saturday in the next $1,000 tournament, so he has a few more opportunities to add to his take here at the Rio.

All told, these four Cake Poker players have earned $31,225 in six cashes at the Rio this summer – and we’re only halfway through the schedule. There’s still plenty of time to join them in Las Vegas. You can win yourself a $2,500 Cake Poker WSOP package for as little as $1.10, or a $12,500 package for as little as $3.30 – check out our 2010 WSOP page for more details.
