Yes i personally too think it is very big prestige to win wsop player of the year title but to me i think it is more important to win more money from tournaments and not this title. Of course if win money and this title is better than just money

very good results really. We are talking about fifteen cashes in tournaments with lots of professional players in. And from these tournaments he got two bracelets. It is s dream result for many players, either they are professionals or not. Cause there are a lots of pros out there. But how many actually are making this kind of money in one year?

I do not know how a player like Shaun Deep can win Player Of the Year ( POY). Maybe it is a different title for points. I think Justin Bonomo is a favorite of real POY title or is my mistake? I say this because i have not heard in my life about this Shaun Deep and do not know but Justin Bonomo won a lot of money and 2 bracelets this year. It is strange to me this thing.

Two bracelets in one summer, one of them with his biggest cash prize, and win this recognition before the end of the year, 2018 is sure leaving a mark in his career with so many dreams realized.

Welp, he looks like he's beaten anorexia that's for sure. Other than that this title is something to brag with to the ladies, but nothing teally meaningful.

I saw some pictures with him on the internet and for fear of anorexia he eats like a gourmet. This is my opinion and anyone can recommend it to do some sports in every day. He could to get rid of many kilos like the other player who put a bet and won it. There was a thread here about this. Anyway he has some beautiful records and 4 bracelets, i congratulate him for this, but for me Player Of The Year is Justin Bonomo.
