Here are the most searched players on Hendon Mob over the last seven days as reported by the site this morning, Saturday, April 15:

7thMaurice Hawkins133rd
8thJason Mercier8th
9thPhil Ivey10th

This is the list typically featuring the 'usual suspects' — that is, players like Fedor Holz (2nd), Daniel Negreanu (3rd), Daniel Colman (4th), Erik Seidel (5th), Phil Ivey (9th), Steve O'Dwyer (10th) and others about whom those who follow poker are always curious.

None of those players picked up cashes in the last week other than Seidel who finished fifth in the World Poker Tour Tournament of Champions won by Daniel Weinman last weekend. But they're among the group of players who routinely have their tournament results searched and viewed by Hendon Mob's visitors regardless of what they've done lately.

Sometimes, though, 'real life' or non-poker news steps in to affect these rankings, and that's exactly what happened this week to make David Dao the most searched player on the site — and by a wide margin.

Dao was the individual at the center of a much-publicized incident occurring last Sunday involving a United Airlines flight. You've likely heard the story of passengers having been boarded for the full flight, then the airline asking for volunteers to relinquish their seats to accommodate extra crew members. Not getting enough volunteers, four passengers were selected at random to give up their seats, Dao being one of those picked.

However the 69-year-old physician refused to leave the plane, and security officers forcibly removed him, injuring Dao in the process. Video of the unsettling incident recorded by other passengers swiftly went viral, producing widespread negative response, with the airline's subsequent statements of policy further fueling the fire.

As it happens, Dao is a poker player, and those searching his page on Hendon Mob found he's cashed for over $265K in tournaments over the years, including a runner-up finish in the $5K World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Tunica Main Event in 2009. (The photo of Dao above is from the 2009 WSOP-C New Orleans Main Event.) Over the last seven days Dao's page has been viewed nearly four times as much as the next-viewed player's page (Holz).

Speaking of WSOP Circuit success, also jumping onto the list this week is Maurice Hawkins (7th), who collected his record 10th WSOP-C ring on Monday after winning the WSOP-C Horseshoe Council Bluffs Main Event for a second year in a row.

Finally, Jason Mercier (8th), winner of the $25K Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown High Roller a week-and-a-half ago, remains on the most-searched list again this week, as does 2015 WSOP Main Event 14th-place finisher Justin Schwartz (4th).

Hendon Mob also maintains a updated list of players with the biggest increase in unique hits over the previous seven days, a.k.a. the 'Top Movers.' This list usually changes a lot from week to week in response to individual tournament successes. Of course there's an exception to that trend this week, as we've already noted:

PositionPlayerLast Week

7thDaniel Weinman+620%
8thStu Ungar+435%
9thMaurice Hawkins+408%
10thAri Engel+167%

We've covered the huge increase in interest in Dao's page. Those big tournament wins by Maurice Hawkins and Daniel Weinman mentioned above also explain their presence on this list.

Meanwhile many are looking up Sosia Jiang's page as well after her recent victory in the HK$103K Poker Championship Macau High Roller. Other recent tournament successes inspiring page lookups this week have included:

  • Elliot Smithwinning the PokerStars Championship Macau Main Event for HK$2,877,500 (worth about $370K USD).
  • Marcin Chmielewskiwinning the WSOP International Circuit Rozvadov Main Event for €183,350 (or just over $195K USD).
  • Ari Engelwinning the Mid-States Poker Tour Milwaukee Main Event for $114,876.
  • Andrej Desset winning the partypoker Grand Prix & Millions Vienna Main Event for €92,530 (or nearly $100K USD).

Also on the list are Lithuanian player Grigorij Orlov and the late Stu Ungar, the latter's impressive results (including three WSOP Main Event titles) having been the subject of some conversation over 'Poker Twitter' this week.

The Hendon Mob, which is the world’s biggest and most reliable poker tournament record database will now include real-name online poker results.

The Hendon Mob Database has for a long time only displayed player results from live tournaments, however due to popular demand, the website has decided to also publish results from online tournaments, in collaboration with popular online poker forum Pocket Fives.

Eric Danis, President of the Global Poker Index and The Hendon Mob Database said the decision was made after taking into account overwhelming demand from the poker community, though he clarified that only real-name results will be posted, meaning it won’t include those using screen names, which has become the norm in various online poker tournaments. The database will also not convert popular aliases.

Danis also made it clear that online results won’t count towards a player’s rankings and will therefore not affect their current stats.

Collaboration With Pocket Fives

Hendon Mob will work with PocketFives in adding online results to the database, a long-standing partnership that gets stronger with each passing year. Both share a common passion for the game and have been working hard to make relevant poker stats more accessible than ever to everyone who loves poker and who aspires to be successful in the game.

Over the years, PocketFives, which is headed by Lance Bradley, has taken charge of posting online results, while the Hendon Mob takes care of the stats in the live tournament circuit.

Whether or not screen names and aliases should be used in online poker competitions has long been a subject of debate. Danis said he fully understands if some players wanted to play anonymously online, though as a poker fan, he said he’d prefer knowing the true identities of the players. Since results related to screen names will not be included in Hendon Mob’s tournament records, it’s understood results from the recently-concluded Stadium Series on PokerStars will not reflect on the site.

If you’ve recently taken part in an online tournament, you might want to check out the Hendon Mob database and see if your results are there. The site now becomes the perfect go-to destination not just for live results, but also online tournament stats.
