The European Poker Tour Season 10 Player of the Year race is on, and as you know players will be able to accumulate 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 will be 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.
In the latest movement, Jeff Rossiter jumped to the No. 6 spot, which dropped Adrian Mateos Diaz to seventh and Mike McDonald to eighth.

Dimitar Danchev opened for 1,200 and got called by Zoltan Szabo. Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 4,200 and it went back to Danchev who four-bet to 8,400. Szabo folded as did Mitsche who spun his cards into the muck in frustration.
