A lack of bracelets fails to stop Hellmuth taking the lead in the Player-of-the-Year rankings
He is yet to win an event but Phil Hellmuth’s consistency at reaching the final table is paying off. He heads up the WSOP Player-of-the-Year leaderboard in front of bracelet winning players. Sam Stein is in second place and only trails Hellmuth by eight points.
John Juanda may have beaten Hellmuth for a win in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Championship but two second place finishes for the The Poker Brat mean that he is ahead of Juanda, who is in third, by nearly 64 points.
Further down the list, Brit Jake Cody is in eighth place after winning the $25k Heads-Up Championship early in the World Series. Betrand “ElkY” Grospellier’s victory in the 10k Seven-Card-Stud Championship means that he is currently in eleventh.
