The Daily EPT10 Player of the Year Update for 4-19-14
The European Poker Tour Season 10 Player of the Year race is on, and as we've mentioned before it's a heated affair between current leader Ole Schemion and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst, the former of which is still playing in this event.
As you know players have been accumulating points in all events throughout Season 10, regardless of the buy-in level. In addition, all of the Festival Events (Estrellas, UKIPT, Eureka, FPS, IPT) that combine with an EPT tour stop have been eligible for Player of the Year points. The winner of this season��s award will walk away with �50,000 in Main Event buy-ins, good for any PokerStars or Full Tilt sponsored event.
The Global Poker Index (GPI) points formula, which will be used to determine the EPT10 POY, is a bit complicated, but you can read about all the details here.
Since yesterday, Alex Bilokur jumped up two spots to No. 4, which in turned dropped Dominik Panka and Adrian Mateis Diaz a spot apiece. In addition, both Olivier Busquet and Jose Carlos Garcia cracked the top ten at ninth and tenth respectively, which resulted in both Georgios Karakousis and Ami Barer fell off the top ten.
Obviously this leaderboard will change a lot in the coming days with the completion of the EPT Sanremo Main Event and High Roller.
Here are the current top ten on the EPT10 POY Leaderboard:
| Place | Player | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ole Schemion | 885.90 pts |
| 2 | Vanessa Selbst | 762.05 pts |
| 3 | Thomas Muhloecker | 748.82 pts |
| 4 | Alex Bilokur | 664.48 pts |
| 5 | Dominik Panka | 608.60 pts |
| 6 | Adrian Mateos Diaz | 605.16 pts |
| 7 | Jeff Rossiter | 590.27 pts |
| 8 | Oleksii Khoroshenin | 577.93 pts |
| 9 | Olivier Busquet | 565.26 pts |
| 10 | Jose Carlos Garcia | 554.92 pts |
