Team Pokerati Frontrunner for Women\’s WSOP Player of the Year!

Daniel Negreanu knows her as \”whackjob surprise\” … and though we have a feeling that might be what the Schneiders call Tom\’s annual birthday present, well-informed, loyal Pokeratizens know her as \”Angry Julie\” (from back in the Beyond the Table days) … and as the main event nears the money bubble, she\’s the frontrunner amongst the women for WSOP Player of the Year.

(Woot! Congrats, Julie!)

According to Julie, men don\’t know what it\’s like to have to dodge tilt at a final table on a heavy-flow day … but she didn\’t let that get in the way of her finding success. With just the main event left to play — making it still anybody\’s game, but statistically unlikely that anyone passes her — here\’s the breakdown of the top women in the WSOP POY standings:

1. Julie Schneider – 65 pts
2. Vanessa Rousso – 60 pts
3. Millie Shiu – 60 pts
4. Annie Duke – 40 pts
5. Jennifer Harman – 37 pts
