Anthony Zinno's been having a spectacular year, but the icing on the cake would be for him to win the GPI Player of the Year ranking. Zinno has been vocal about the importance of winning this title, and with only a few events left this could be one of his best shots to get some points.
Zinno's biggest rival is Byron Kaverman, who currently leads the way, and the three-time World Poker Tour winner said that he thinks a min-cash in this event would be enough to overtake the lead. Here are the current standings, with only EPT Prague, WPT 5 Diamond and WPT Alpha 8 left to be played.
