Following another deep run in which Kare Hallamaa finished 3rd in the Deuce to Seven event, the Finn has now opened up a significant lead in the Player of the Series race. Despite having a big lead, he can still be caught, as the Main Event is the one that awards by far the most points to the top few finishers.

How Are Player of the Series Points Calculated?
So how does this leaderboard work? I can almost hear some of you thinking this as you’re reading it. For the complete rules on how the leaderboard works, there’s an article on the main site that explains it all, but here’s a brief rundown.
Qualifying Events
- Only tournaments that are open to all count, therefore no leaderboard points for cash game challenge, Festival Queens or the Seniors
- Satellites do not count either
Participation Points
- Players get points for simply taking part, but these can only be earned once per tournament, you don’t get extra points for extra bullets.
- The amount of participation points is based on the buy-in of the event, the full breakdown is in the article linked above.
Base Points
- Players “in the money” are awarded base points, with 25 awarded to the winner, 20 for second, 18 for third etc.
- But if there is a deal, the points awarded to those involved in the deal are frozen and all are awarded the points earned by the player in the lowest finishing position in the deal, e.g. if three players, make a deal, they all receive the points awarded for a 3rd place finish.
Multiplier
- A multiplier related to how many entries there were in the tournament is applied to the base points.
Total Point Per Event = (Base Points x Multiplier) + Participation Points
