While poker superstars like Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and Phil Ivey top the list of WSOP bracelet winners, only one player can boast earning $1 million in tournaments for five years in a row.

The player in question is Erick Lindgren (pictured), who pulled off the accomplishment from 2004 to 2008. During that time, the California native pocketed $6,369,076, for a total of $10,005,543 in lifetime tournament earnings, according to the Global Poker Index. The team at PokerNewswas the first to report on the feat after overhearing it mentioned by Erik Seidel at the tables. While Lindgren might be the only member of the five years, $5 million club, several players are poised to join him.

Daniel Negreanu is one of them and is on track to bank over a million dollars for the fifth consecutive year. In 2011, the Canadian grinder posted $1,534,367 in winnings and has seen his yearly scores increase ever since. With his second place finish in the 2014 Big One for One Drop, last year’s take of $10,284,118 will be tough to beat, though. So far this year, Negreanu has added another $109,680 to his tournament bankroll and has more than enough time pick up the $900,000 he’ll need to join the club.

Also on deck are David Doc SandsSands (pictured), who has $6,657,264 in winnings over the past four years, Brian tsarrastRast with $6,947,556, and Philipp philbort Gruissem with $9,424,437.

Some players have come close, but were sent back to the drawing board after a year of banking less than the seven-figures required. Tournament pro Jason treysfull21 Mercier has had a stellar career at the tables over the last eight years. From 2008 to 2015, Mercier won a total of $13,734,780, posting earnings of less than $1 million only in 2012, when he finished the year $523,587 in the black. This year, Mercier has pocketed $113,860; a one million-dollar 2015 would give the pro three years of consecutive seven-figure cashes.

Sam Trickett, the second place finisher in the 2012 Big One for One Drop, also racked up four years of million-dollar cashes, but fell short of the fifth in 2014, when he took only $665,911. In eight years of recorded cashes, Trickett has banked over $20 million.

Several others have started on the five-year accomplishment, getting two or three years toward the achievement. Germany’s Ole Schemion already has three million-dollar years under his belt, with $27,700 in winnings in 2015. Grinder Joseph subiime Cheong is also knocking on the door, posting seven-figure scores every year since 2012.
