2014 GPI PoY: Big Moves From Big Roger

Big Roger continues to rack up the cashes as he enters the Player of the Year Top 25 leaderboard for the first time this season…

CYPRUS SUCCESS

Big Roger is on fire! Roger Hairabedian (GPI#28) has certainly been busy to start the 2014 poker season. Coming off a remarkable five cashes at bwin WPT National Merit Cyprus, including a 12th place finish in the Main Event, Hairabedian has collected a total of 15 scores so far this season.

Hairabedian added over 150 Player of the Year points to his 2014 totals during his Cyprus run. Other than his score in the Main Event, he also won two side events at the WPTN event, both in No-Limit Hold’em Turbo Deepstack events.

Other than his WPTN successes, Hairabedian has also enjoyed success in Montenegro, at the Live Events International series, The Grand Live Cyprus, the Marrakech Poker Open, the EPT Deauville Festival and the Merit Poker Winterfest, picking up side event victories in Marrakech and at the Winterfest.

Harabedian has earned just under 150K USD so far this season, he seems to be well on his way to earning over 500K for the seventh straight season on the live tournament circuit.

Here is a look at Hairabedian’s results so far this season:
