The live tournament money list is compiled every year by the Hendon Mob and 2012 was undoubtedly Antonio Esfandiari’s year. The Magician secured his dominating position in summer by winning the WSOP $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop event for $18,346,673.

Big One runner-up Sam Trickett also follows Esfandiari in the annual compilation, progressing from his 5th place in 2011. The British pro won a total of $11,166,185, out of which $10,112,001 comes from his Big One finish. He ran in 7th in the Macau High Stakes Challenge $258,000 Super High Roller for $999,184 and made a total of three ITMs in 2012.
