EPT PRAGUE: OH SO CLOSE! MAD MARVIN WINS HR BUT NOT POY


It was going to take something close to a miracle for Dan Smith to lose his lead atop the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Leaderboard powered by PTPRpoker ... and despite just winning the High Rollers event at EPT Prague, Mad Marvin Rettenmaier falls 10 points short of a miracle and Smith maintains a small lead heading into the final moments of the 2012 poker season.


Rettenmaier cements his number 2 ranking on the season and collects his fourth win on tour this season.

Mad Marvin defeated fellow German Fabian Quoss heads-up. Quoss won the WPT Rendez-Vous a Paris HR title back in September.

Juha Helppi was third, Philippe Ktorza fourth and 2010 PTPRpoker Player of the Year Sorel Mizzi rounded-out the Top 5.

Marcin Wydrowski finished in sixth position, one week after capturing his first WPT title right here in Prague.

For the first time in his five-year poker career, it looks as if Jason Mercier will not cross the 1M USD in earnings mark in a season as his seventh place finish in this event wasn't enough to put him over.
