Hard to believe, but the 2012 World Series of Poker has already crossed the midway point!

So, which players have been the best performers?  We do know that 31 gold bracelets have been awarded and everyone knows those winners.  But what about other major categories -- such as prize money, cashes and final table appearances?  What about players with the best overall percentage of cashes?

Through the completion of gold bracelet Events 1 through 31, here's the halftime scoreboard for individual players.

See Thursday's "WSOP Daily Shuffle" for a more comprehensive listing of results by country, gender, and other categories:

If you've ever watched the World Series of Poker and thought that could be me, you're not alone. Since 1970, the WSOP has been the place where that dream lives. Most people know the summer series in Las Vegas, where the $10,000 Main Event turns ordinary players into legends. But the WSOP calendar has grown well beyond that. WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise now bring bracelet competition to international destinations, and dozens of Circuit events run year-round for players who want serious competition closer to home. Whether you're grinding a Circuit stop or taking your shot at the Main Event, the hardware means something. Winning a gold bracelet or Circuit ring is more than just a trophy. It's a permanent record that you are a champion. For players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, WSOP Online has become something worth paying attention to. It's the only platform in the US where you can win a poker tournament for official WSOP gold bracelets without leaving home! The WSOP also offers deposit limits and self-exclusion tools because the best poker rooms have always known that keeping poker players healthy keeps the game healthy. From your first Circuit event to a final table in Las Vegas, WSOP is still where you go to prove something.
