It's awards season time for the PTPR! Our first award goes out to the 2011 PTPR Rookie of the Year. This honour is awarded to the player who tallied the most PTPR Points this season without having any tournament results (or at least none in significant events) prior to the 2011 poker season.
Congratulations to Ukrainian Oleksii Kovalchuk who earns the nod as the 2011 PTPR Tournament Rookie Player of the Year.
Kovalchuk's first documented tournament cash of his career came back in February, where he beat over 230 players to capture the Russian Poker Tour Kiev Main Event Title. And from then on, Kovalchuk never looked back.
In June, Kovalchuk made his way to the WSOP - and picked up a bracelet! Almost a 690K score in the NLH Six Max event June 15-17 ... back in Europe, Kovalchuk earned the win at IPT Nova Gorica in September. Add to that a third place finish at the Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final and you can bet that Kovalchuk couldn't have dreamed of a better first season on tour.
