Understatement of the week? Possibly Andrey Pateychuk is red-hot on the poker circuit? Most definitely.

After a strong showing (Top 15 finish) at this summer's WSOP Main Event, Pateychuk picked up a big win at EPT San Remo in October. Well, you can now add a WPT title to the list - Pateychuk is now a WSOP bracelet away from joining Poker's Triple Crown Club.

Pateychuk's incredible finish to 2011 has led him right into the 2011 PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year race - his 298 PTPR Points place him seventh on the Top 15 Leaderboard, five points behind Will "The Thrill" Failla.

Pateychuk and second place finisher Adria Balaguer had a long heads up battle. Both holding the chip lead at times. Balaguer earned his second PTPR Score of 2011.

It was a third PTPR Score of 2011 for Benjamin Pollak and Sigurd Eskeland. Ninth place finisher Mike Watson also earned his third PTPR Score of the year, he now has 139 PTPR Points for the season ...
