Phil Hellmuth is right up there after his second place finishes in the 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship and the Seven Card Stud Hi Low Split (8 or Better) Championship events, but it’s Mikhail Lakhitov who is currently sitting pretty, after winning WSOP Event number 36 ($2,500 No Limit Hold’em) and finishing 8th in WSOP Event number 4 ($5,000 No Limit Hold’em).
John Juanda, who is arguably the best non Hold’em poker player in the world right now, currently sits fourth after his demolition job in the 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship event, plus his 6th place finish in the Eight Game event.
Jason Mercier moves up to 7th in the WSOP Player of the Year standings after his recent Pot Limit Omaha victory, but Mercier has also cashed in two other events at the 2011 WSOP – the Seven Card Stud Championship (14th) and the Omaha Hi Lo Championship (27th).
Jake Cody, who completed poker’s triple crown when claiming his first WSOP title back in event number two (the Heads Up No Limit Hold’em Championship) is Britain’s highest representative on the 2011 WSOP Player of the Year leader board.
