Here is a recap of last night's league kindly provided by our individual leaguecoordinator forum member and all-round great guy (: bpm2b :

The 2009 Shark Poker Tour Player Of the Year race got underway last night at Absolute Poker and saw 49 entrants kicking things off. With only the top 18 players earning points towards POY standings and only the top 9 players cashing, the play at the tables was stepped up a notch. Once the points bubble was popped the play at the tables was fierce. Players were definitely bringing their A / EH game to the tables trying to earn as many points as they possibly could, and to let everyone know that they were gunning to be the top Shark in the waters.
The money bubble finally popped and the final table was set. Gar812 had a very dominate 3:1 chip lead over 2nd place in chips going into the final table and he continued to build on that chip lead. Short stacks started making moves but it seemed each time Gar812 was there to scoop the pot up playing a solid game. Down to four players left and Gar812 was still rolling along playing a great short handed big stack poker game. Reelcrazy11 was sitting quietly in 2nd in chips and making his moves and getting the money in the pot at the best possible times.
The final table was loaded with talent and some very tough vets were sitting there but in the end it came down to two Shark Poker Tour vets to fight it out for the win, Gar812 and Reelcrazy11. Gar812 had a pretty good chip lead but Reelcrazy11 was only two double ups away from taking that lead from Gar812, and that’s just what happened. Gar812 went on a run of cold cards and when it was all said and done, Reelcrazy11 scooped up the final pot and took the win, earning him 62.5 POY points and the top spot on the leader board.
The next stop on the Shark Poker Tour POY race is 6 February 2009 at Absolute Poker and has a $2.20 buy-in with $40 added to the prize pool.

See ya at the Tables
