Scott Zakheim (Davie, FL) has had over $20,000 in live tournament earnings every year since 2009, with 2011 his career best year ($164,487).

When it comes to tournament poker, variance is something that will usually rear it's head in the life of a player who puts in serious hours.  A professional tournament player's career may see years with six-figure earnings, and others with less than five-figures (yes...it happens).  Taking a look at Scott Zakheim's tournament career, one would see the following:

Zakheim has been the picture of consistency, earning an average of over $50,000 in live tournament earnings for the past ten years.  Scott is coming off of a 2017 in which he cashed in (19) events, with total earnings of $41,501.  While the numbers were his lowest since 2009, Scott still took in a more than respectable number for the volume he puts in, and continued what's been a super impressive streak.  Zakheim is still looking for that "huge" score, which he attained back in 2011, when he won a $1,000 No Limit Hold'em event a Palm Beach Kennel Club ($84,712).

Players are about to take their first break of the day, and will be returning to Level 5, with new blinds of 150/300/50.
