Adam Hendrix had about as hot a year in 2022 as any poker player could hope for. With 47 Hendon Mob cashes, three first-place finishes and over $1.6 million in earnings in 2022, the Alaska all-time money leader spent most of the year as the clear frontrunner in the GPI Player of the Year race.
If it weren’t for a last-minute surge from Stephen Song, a good friend of his, which included an eleventh-hour victory in the inaugural World Poker Tour (WPT) Prime Championship, Hendrix would have clinched the POY award.
