Seit zwanzig Jahren vergibt die WSOP am Ende jeder Weltmeisterschaft den Titel des Player of the Year, doch die Regularien haben sich nie wirklich als gerecht durchgesetzt.
Die POY-Vergabe hat deshalb immer wieder zu Diskussionen geführt, von der Panne im Jahr 2019, als Daniel Negreanu aufgrund eines Rechenfehlers versehentlich zum Gewinner gekürt wurde, ganz abgesehen.
Nun hat sich die WSOP (mal wieder) etwas Neues einfallen lassen und das Punktesystem geändert, um mehr Übersichtlichkeit, aber auch mehr Gerechtigkeit walten zu lassen.
Ab sofort gilt, dass ein Spieler mindestens fünf Cashes aufweisen muss, aber nur die besten zehn Turniere in die Wertung eingehen. Zudem wird nur ein Online-Ergebnis gewertet.
Das Prestige ist beim POY-Titel definitiv das Wichtigste, der Sieger erhält einen Pokal und wird an den Wänden im Horseshoe mit einem Banner verewigt. Als kleine Zugabe gibt es das Ticket für den nächsten Main Event gratis.
Mehr zu den Regeln und einen Rechner für die jeweiligen Turniere findet ihr hier.
In der zwanzigjährigen Geschichte des WSOP POY konnte mit George Danzer auch ein deutschsprachiger Spieler den Titel erringen. Die weiteren Titelträger findet ihr in der folgenden Liste.
