David Nathaniel Jr was an entrant before the first break and he’s been running really well over the last few months, good enough to sit atop the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year standings.

The SHRP POY race consists of 10 major tournaments across the state with Coco Poker, SHR Tampa, and Hollywood events on the calendar. The current run began with Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s WSOP Circuit Main Event in October. Nathaniel Jr finished 10th out of 617 entries to start his campaign.

The second stop was Seminole Hard Rock Tampa for the Pinktober Poker Open Main Event. Nathaniel Jr had a bit of a better finish that time, winning it all for another $93,000 in his bankroll and a trip to the top of the POY leaderboard.

While the WPTDeepStacks Hollywood event was a point-eligible tournament last year, in 2020 the WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship will take its place.

We are four tournaments into the POY chase so there’s plenty of time to catch the leader. After the WPT LHPO Championship, next up is the WSOP Circuit Main Event in Tampa next month. The Player of the Year will win a package valued at more than $25,000 and includes SHRP Championship/Main Event buy-ins plus hotel/food comps throughout the year.
