The record for the most cashes in a single World Series of Poker is falling almost daily now, down the home stretch of the 2016 WSOP. But the new records being set may come with an asterisk due to recent changes.
The WSOP's commitment to paying 15 percent of the field in events this year has simply made the record 11 cashes Russian player Konstantin Puchkov made at the 2012 WSOP more attainable this summer.
With a cash in Event #61: $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold'em this week, Ryan Laplante made it 12 on the summer so far, setting a new bar, and when Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi's run in Event #62: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller ended in 12th place on Friday, he matched that new mark.
