Defending World Series of Poker Player's Championship winner Brian Rast is July's PTPR Player of the month.

Rast's 151 PTPR Points collected in the Player's Championship was enough to finish first. July is usually a slow month as the WSOP winds down and there aren't many big events on during the month.

Maxim Lykov continued his solid season by finishing second. Vincenzo Natale is the top points producer to have earned multiple PTPR Scores (2) - earning points at WPT Slovenia and at the Poker Grand Prix in Italy.
