Matthew Ashton

Matthew Ashton, from Liverpool, is 46th on the British all-time money list with $3,651,611 recorded and a largest single result of $1,774,089.

The numbers, as the database holds them

The Hendon Mob records $3,651,611 in live tournament earnings for Ashton and a best live cash of $1,774,089. He stands 808th on the global all-time money list today; his best-ever position on it was 338th. The Global Poker Index, which measures recent form rather than career totals, has him outside its top hundred thousand — a gap that tells you the earnings are historical rather than current.

Half a career in one result

That single $1,774,089 cash is worth roughly 49 per cent of the recorded total. A result of that size in a high buy-in event does more for a money-list position than years of mid-stakes cashing, which is the central distortion in all-time earnings lists.

Two different British ranks

The database shows Ashton 41st on its England-only money list and 46th on the combined United Kingdom list. The combined list interleaves Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish players, so the same career produces two different domestic numbers depending on which list is quoted — worth knowing when comparing figures across sites.
