Waxman vaults into Top 5 in 2011 POY race
After scoring his first major win at the WPT Grand Prix de Paris, tournament poker pro Matt Waxman vaulted up the Bluff Magazine Player of the Year leader-board. Waxman has been a consistent tournament player over the past few years, but without a major tournament victory it’s hard to crack the Top 10 in the POY races. Now that he has a major win on his resume all of Waxman’s other results have put him in contention for the POY award.
Here is a look at the Top 10 on the Bluff Magazine Player of the Year leader-board as of September 14, 2011:
1. Eugene Katchalov — 1,077.38
2. Bertrand Grospellier — 892.00
3. Matthew Waxman — 879.05
4. Erik Seidel — 872.83
5. Marvin Rettenmaier — 863.55
6. Maxim Lykov — 820.56
7. Samuel Stein — 775.25
8. Jason Mercier — 766.43
9. Galen Hall — 762.45
10. Ali (Shahryar) Eslami — 758.39
