: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
The European Poker Tour Season 10 Player of the Year race is on, and as we've mentioned before it's a heated affair between current leader Ole Schemion and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst, both of who are currently playing in the €10,000 High Roller.
As you know players have been accumulating points in all events throughout Season 10, regardless of the buy-in level. In addition, all of the Festival Events (Estrellas, UKIPT, Eureka, FPS, IPT) that combine with an EPT tour stop have been eligible for Player of the Year points. The winner of this season’s award will walk away with €50,000 in Main Event buy-ins, good for any PokerStars or Full Tilt sponsored event.
