Card Player POY Race
To the best I can tell, there are only four players still alive for this prestigious award - everyone's chasing Men Nguyen, and there are three others that are still alive in the WPT Bellagio that have a chance to catch him. John Gale, 19th in the current POY standings, is currently second in chips with about 190 players remaining, and needs a Top-2 finish to surpass Men. Michael Mizrachi and Maciek Gracz are currently 4th and 5th in the standings, respectively, both have a Top-20 chip count, and either would need a Top-5 finish to take home the 2005 honor. Should be an interesting suplot the next few days. Negreanu was so clutch in this tournament last year - could see a similar performance...
