Matthew Waxman is good ... Matthew Waxman has been good in 2011 ... I mean, really, really good.
After winning the Isle Classic and the WSOP Circuit Atlantic City Main Event in the past nine months (add to that a few more quality scores), Waxman has finally captured a big one, the World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris NLH Main Event.
Waxman`s win propels him onto the 2011 PTPR Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard. Waxman moves into sixth place on our charts, one single point ahead of defending WSOP Poker Player`s Championship winner Brian Rast. Waxman earns his sixth PTPR Score of the year, one less than Jason Mercier and Maxim Lykov.
The French were certainly hoping that native son Hugo Lemaire would pull through but, Waxman was not going to lose this one heads up.
Although Byron Kaverman was unable to turn the final table chip lead into a win for the second time this year, he does pickup his fifth PTPR Score and joins Tim West tied for 16th on the PTPR Leaderboard, three points behind Scott Seiver.
Swedish pro Martin Jacobson moves into the Top 40 Leaderboard with his fourth score of the year.
