It's All Crushers Atop the WSOP Player of the Year Standings; Deeb Still Hanging in There

The WSOP Player of the Year race is being dominated by players you probably aren't too surprised to see at the top, while Shaun Deeb, the pre-series favorite, is still lurking.

Deeb came into the summer with a significant head start after booking two runner-up finishes and a ninth-place score at the WSOP Europe in April. But he's only recorded two cashes this summer.

The good news for the reigning and two-time Player of the Year is he's made the most of those cashes, finishing second and fifth. Deeb, however, has dropped down a bit in the standings since the WSOP began on May 26, while some other crushers have moved into the top few spots.
