Will the Real POY Please Stand Up
This past weekend, George Danzer passed Brandon Shack-Harris atop the 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaderboard, which is a race hotly contested between the two. Shack-Harris has exacted some revenge by eliminating Danzer for Event #4 and giving himself a freeroll to valuable POY points.
In what would be Danzer's final hand, the player on the button opened for 1,300 an Danzer three-bet to 3,400 from the small blind. Shack-Harris then four-bet to 8,200 from the big, the original raiser folded, and Danzer moved all in for 15,750. Shack-Harris called and it was off to the races.

Danzer needed to improve, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out a clean . With that, Danzer sent his $500 bounty chip to his arch rival (the two have actually become good friends).
