Lamb vs. Hellmuth for WSOP Player of the Year

Level 18

Going into this event, Ben Lamb led the World Series of Poker Player of the Year race with 575.65 points. Phil Hellmuth sat in fourth place with 458.25 points. That's a 114.4-point difference and means that Hellmuth must earn that many more points than Lamb in order to overtake him.

Here's the current WSOP POY standings and we'll redirect you to the WSOP POY formula page for the info on that as it gets a little too confusing to explain. The two already had a little banter back and forth earlier, so this could also add some fuel to the fire.

The race is on for WSOP POY and it's Hellmuth versus Lamb for the title.
