EPT10 PoY: Benefield, Schemion Stand Tall as London Begins

We’ve completed one of the eight festivals on the European Poker Tour schedule for Season 10, here are the up-to-date standings for the EPT10 Player of the Year, powered by the Global Poker Index:

RAPTOR, OLE TOP THE CHARTS

It’s still very early, but we already have a race on our hands! WSOP November Niner David Benefield (GPI#120) and current GPI Player of the Year leader Ole Schemion (GPI#2) are just a few points apart of each other at the top of the EPT10 Player of the Year charts.

Each player’s Barcelona report card could easily be switched with the other. Both Raptor and Schemion cashed in the Main Event, the High Roller and in the Super High Roller events. Benefield outlasted Schemion in both the Main (110th vs. 123rd) and in the SHR (5th vs. 6th) allowing him to take a 2 point lead heading into London.

BIG NAMES IN CONTENTION

The EPT10 PoY Top 10 includes some big names: 2010 WSOP World Champion Jonathan Duhamel (GPI#13), reigning EPT Grand Final Champion Steve O’Dwyer (GPI#6), Barcelona Super High Roller winner Vitaly Lunkin (GPI#280), 2012 Irish Open winner Kevin Vandersmissen (GPI#134) and EPT Barcelona Main Event Champ Tom Middleton (GPI#466) are some of the other names at the top.
