Hublot WPT Player of the Year: Zamani, Panzica, or Lyons

Photos:  One of these three players will be the Season XV Hublot WPT Player of the Year. From left to right: Benjamin Zamani, Sam Panzica, Pat Lyons.

There are just three players remaining in the Hublot WPT Player of the Year race. Benjamin Zamani has the POY points lead, but he was eliminated earlier today and earned no additional POY points in this event. That opens a door for Sam Panzica and Pat Lyons to potentially overtake Zamani.

Benjamin Zamani:  Current POY points leader, and he will win if Panzica and Lyons fall short.

Sam Panzica:  Panzica needs to finish 18th or higher to pass Zamani.

Pat Lyons:  Lyons needs to win the event to pass Zamani.

Here are the updated chip counts for Lyons and Panzica with 42 players remaining:

Pat Lyons  –  315,000  (39 bb)
Sam Panzica  –  95,000  (12 bb)
