It's been a quiet week for the World Series of Poker Player of the Year race due to the WSOP Main Event taking centre stage over the last few days. With that, long-time leader Ian Matakis tops of the leaderboard ahead of Chris Brewer and Shaun Deeb.
The landscape of the top ten frontrunners has changed since PokerNews' last POY instalment, with Matakis retaking the lead from Deeb. Brewer has shot up to second place after bagging his second bracelet of the summer, and Phil Hellmuth has entered the top ten for the first time this series after capturing his record-extending 17th bracelet.
