With Two Victories, Mike Leah Takes the Lead in the WPT Player of the Festival Race

As you can see in the graphic above, Mike Leah has catapulted above Michael Rossitto and George Tomescu to take the top spot in the WPT Player of the Festival race.

Leah won the $2,200 Eight-Game Mix event last week, outlasting a field of 146 to win $77,841, and then followed that up with a victory in the $1,100 PLO event last night, beating a field of 547 to win $99,916.

But there are a lot of points waiting to be awarded in the WPT World Championship, and the top three finishers will earn the following prizes:

1st Place:  WPT Passport valued at $10,400, which can be used at the Season XXII WPT World Championship.

2nd Place:  WPT Passport valued at $3,500, which can be used at any Season XXII WPT live event across the globe.

3rd Place:  WPT Passport valued at $1,100, which can be used at any Season XXII WPT Prime live event across the globe.

Points are awarded based on two variables — the buy-in and the total prizepool of each event. Players must finish in the money to earn points, and the details for earning points can be found in the official rules, along with more information about the prizes.
