When you look at the 2009 WSOP Player of the Year leaderboad, you’ll find not one, not two, but three multiple bracelet winners. If you told Phil Ivey at the beginning of the summer that he’d win two bracelets and have five cashes and only be in third place for POY, he’d have spit up his milk in your face. A quick peek at the top five: Jeffrey Lisandro: 355 pts, three bracelets...

The next set of online rentals was immediately mailed out.
