As we get near the halfway point — through 27 events — here\’s how the WSOP Player of the Year race is shaping up:
250 Ville Wahlbeck
220 Brock Parker
220 Phil Ivey
175 Pete the Greek Vilandos
160 Steve Sung
155 Daniel Negreanu
150 Jeffrey Lisandro
147 Jason Mercier
145 Roland de Wolfe
135 Scott Clements
Personally, I think the best bet is probably Lisandro, who has been in this spot multiple times before … and maybe Negreanu, who really wants to win … oh, and Phil Ivey, too!
