The Hublot WPT Player of the Year Race

It’s still early in Season XIV, but the Hublot WPT Player of the Year Race is starting to take shape, with WPT Choctaw champion Jason Brin and WPT Legends of Poker champion Mike Shariati tied for the most points with 1,200 each. Since ties are decided by money earned, Brin tops the official Hublot POY leaderboard.

Darren Elias finished second in last year’s Hublot POY race, and he’s already making another run, currently ranked sixth. He is in today’s field looking to move up the leaderboard.
