Poker Players With Most Cashes in Different Countries

Plenty of poker players lay claim to being grinders. That is, seeking value in the games they play and grinding out long hours at the tables. Some poker players are extraordinary and travel the world playing poker. An elite group have cashed in dozens of different countries. These are the players who are the true grinders.

Casey Kastle (44 cashes in different countries)

The first of his $2,017,389 worth of cashes came from a tournament in the United States in 1998. He has since reached the money places in tournaments held in Austria, Aruba, Ukraine, Philippines, Greece and Morocco. In fact, we could fill an entire article writing about Kastle’s cashes in different countries!
