The Season XV Hublot WPT Player of the Year is the tightest it’s been in months as more and more players have been closing in on Benjamin Zamani’s 2,500 POY points.

Zamani built his lead at the start of the season, final tabling three of the first six events (finishing 2nd, 2nd, and 5th) to catapult into a huge lead with 2,500 points. However, Zamani failed to survive Day 1, so it’s out of his hands at the moment as three players in this field can catch him during this event.

Benjamin Zamani:  Leads with 2,500 points.
James Romero:  With 1,400 points, Romero can tie Zamani with a third-place finish, and take the lead if he finishes first or second.
Nathan Bjerno:  With 1,250 points, Bjerno needs a victory here to pass Zamani.
Ryan Tosoc:  With 1,200 points, Tosoc needs a victory here to pass Zamani.
