It was an exciting first week at the World Series of Poker with nine of the 74 scheduled tournaments coming to completion. Daniel Negreanu reached two final tables on his quest for three bracelets, poker's power couple Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov claimed their first bracelet together in the $10K Tag Team event, and the opening of Kings Casino Lounge has been attracting the highest-stakes cash games into the Pavilion room.
With all the happenings, it wasn't easy picking just one player for the honor of Global Poker Player of the Week.
