Each year, points are awarded for the winners and in-the-money finshes in events across the Asia Pacific Poker Tour and the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour. Points are also awarded in special 'ANZ Qualifying' events in casinos around Australia.
Currently it is Anthony Aston who leads the player of the year race and he is in today's Day 1b field. Aston has had an impressive year, finishing in third place at the ANZPT Sydney event in March and then going on to finish in third place again at ANZPT Perth in May.
On Aston's tail is Didier Guerin and Mishel Anunu, but Aston won't have to worry about these players, with Guerin and Anunu both being eliminated during yesterday's play. The ANZ Player of the Year leader board can be found here.
