The WSOP Player of the Year race is being dominated by players you probably aren't too surprised to see at the top, while Shaun Deeb, the pre-series favorite, is still lurking.

Deeb came into the summer with a significant head start after booking two runner-up finishes and a ninth-place score at the WSOP Europe in April. But he's only recorded two cashes this summer.

The good news for the reigning and two-time Player of the Year is he's made the most of those cashes, finishing second and fifth. Deeb, however, has dropped down a bit in the standings since the WSOP began on May 26, while some other crushers have moved into the top few spots.

Sam Snead Sweilem folded on fifth street when Alfie Adam bet, Nacho Barbero called, and Pat Pezzin then also check-called. They checked sixth street to Barbero, who bet and earned two calls. Pezzin bet seventh to force out Adam, then called a raise by Barbero.

Barbero had a pair of tens and a low, but it only earned half the pot as Pezzin had a queen-high flush.

Seventh checked through again as Schwartz tabled 6♦5♣2♠ in the hole, and his trips nines were enough for the scoop as the others mucked, with Jansen flashing the A♣ for a missed wheel gutter.

"I'm playing great today," Barbero proudly announced as he stacked his newfound chips.

"I thought you were a hold'em guy," Hyman jokingly replied, "I played H.O.R.S.E. with you the other day, and I know this isn't your core competency."
