Shawn Miller

No player in the history of this league takes chips off the table faster than Shawn Miller. His 107 knockouts in 67 tournaments come to 1.60 a night, the highest rate of anyone with forty or more tournaments, and on the regular-season through-line alone it is 1.61 — well clear of anybody else.

Among players with thirty or more starts he also owns that through-line's best scoring average, 27.31 points a tournament, and its best return, about seventy-five dollars of prize money a start. He took both from Juan Lopez at #59, the night he finished runner-up to Joe Johnson for $240.

What the knockouts have not produced is wins. Two, in eight years. The first was #13 in March 2022, after twenty-three tournaments without one — seventeen players and $480 for first, the richest first prize Eight Deuce had paid to that point.

The second took more than four years. June 2026, #56, nineteen runners: Shawn knocked out seven of them, including everybody else who finished in the top five, and collected $580 in prize money.

Around those two: 6 runner-up finishes, 21 cashes and $4,670 in career prize money. Heads-up is where it tends to slip away — eight trips, two wins. He does the damage. Somebody else often collects.
