The World Poker Tour (WPT) Player of the Year leaderboard received a major overhaul this weekend at the Bellagio in Las Vegas!
Steve "Cuz" Buckner, while disappointed by not winning the Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event, can take solace in the fact that he’s now the new leader in the Player of the Year race thanks to his runner-up finish to Chad Eveslage.
Buckner, who also finished second to Chance Kornuth at WPT Choctaw, brought 1,100 points into this week’s event, needing at least a fourth-place finish to shoot through the top ten and pass Ray Qartomy, who had 1,700 points, atop the leaderboard.
