A Look at the Current HPT Season XV POY Race
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
The Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) Player of the Year race is always competitive, and right now Nick Pupillo by a wide margin with 324.70 points. His closest competition right now is Nick Davidson in second place with 190.80 points, while Mike O’Neill sits third with 189 points.
Sitting in sixth thanks to back-to-back final tables and winning the HPT Lawrenceburg for $119,101 is Greg Wood with 152.5 points.
Whoever wins the POY title will claim more than bragging rights. The HPT POY earns a $10,000 package to use next season as well as complimentary hotel accommodations at those six stops. In case of a tie, all winning players will split the POY prize package evenly.
