The Daily EPT10 Player of the Year Update for 4-15-14
The European Poker Tour Season 10 Player of the Year race is on, and 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.
As you can see, Ole Schemion is currently in the lead, but he was eliminated in just five hands here on Day 1b. Meanwhile, Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst made it through Day 1a, meaning she had a prime opportunity to gain on the German.
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 |
