Kade came close to topping that score in March 2022 when she finished fourth in the Wynn Millions Main Event for $527,481, while the top prize of $1.6 million went to Tony Sinishtaj.

Many of Kade's biggest cashes have come on the high-roller PokerGO Tour trail. In June 2021, Kade finished found fourth and fifth-place finishes in US Poker Open events for respective cashes of $94,050 and $138,000.

As far as World Poker Tour (WPT) cashes go, Kade finished 68th in the 2021 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas for $21,045.
