The 2017 World Series of Poker, from a NorCal perspective, can best be described as “close but no cigar.” While 66 of the 74 events have been completed as of press time, NorCal players have logged an impressive number of cashes and final tables but have yet to grab the elusive gold bracelet.

Four competitors have come as close as you can get, taking down impressive second-place finishes.  We have also seen one take third and three each capture fourth and fifth places.

The following is a rundown of the NorCal players who cashed at the WSOP so far this year.
