A Look at the Current MSPT Season 10 POY Race

The MSPT Season 10 Player of the Year Race is in its home stretch and right now Mike Shin, who is competing now at the MSPT 2019 Wisconsin State Poker Championship, holds a healthy lead over both Adam Friedman and Matt Kirby.

At the end of the calendar year, the top-ranked player will receive POY recognition and a $10,000 Main Event buy-in for 2020.

With just a few stops remaining, Shin holds a big lead in the Player of the Year race. His 5,400 points are well ahead of Friedman, who is his next closest competition with 3,500 points.

Shin has amassed 10 MSPT cashes in 2019 which includes winning the MSPT Majestic Star back in January for $68,593 and finishing third in the MSPT Venetian over the summer for $334,000. That was the second-largest score of his career behind the $427,930 he received for finishing 12th in the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event.
