Foltyn has been on fire this fall, and has been climbing the online MTT leaderboards at a crazy pace. His most recent cashes of note include a win in the $109+R NL Holdem [$250,000 guaranteed] on August 2 for the $78,342 first-place prize. He also won the $150 buy-in, $50,000 Guarantee on October 11 for another $47,058. He had yet another big win in the $215+R NL Holdem [$150,000 guaranteed] on September 27 for $35,752.
Foltyn also had a successful summer and had a third-place finish in the $1k Super Tuesday for $34,600 and a second-place post in the Wednesday Hundred Fifty Grand for another $28k. In June, Paul won a $200k Guaranteed event for $44,660 and he took down a $85k Guaranteed event for another $34,900. And in July, Foltyn posted a runner-up finish in a $150k Guaranteed tournament for $27,000.
His live career is also impressive considering he’s only been playing live action since 2006. Since then he has 12 cashes totaling almost 439K, including a win in the GUKPT £3000 Main Event for a $250K payday. Despite five WSOP cashes, he’s only made one final table, and that was back in 2006. His WSOP totals are just over $140K - but all that action was in 2008 or earlier, and he failed to post a live-action cash in 2009. Perhaps he’s just concentrating on his online game right now, as his results would indicate.
