Joe Serock Leads Player of the Year, But Not Locked Up Yet

With a guaranteed 15th-place finish, Joe Serock (pictured) has passed Will Failla, and leads the WPT Player of the Year race. But it’s not locked up yet.

WPT Bay 101 champion Moon Kim and WPT Seminole Lucky Hearts Open champion Matt Juttelstad are both still in the running, and Serock needs a sixth-place finish to guarantee a tie, and a fifth-place finish to clinch the POY title.

Juttelstad needs to not only win this tournament, but he needs Serock to bust 13th or 14th, and Kim to finish no higher than fifth. So it’s a longshot.

We’ll continue to monitor the POY race with updates as the players go deeper.
