Matthew Ashton Takes Lead in WSOP POY Race

Thanks to four final tables, which includes a win in last night's $50,000 Poker Players' Championship, Matthew Ashton of Liverpool sits atop the 2013 World Series of Poker Player of the Year. With that said, Daniel Negreanu, who is in second, is still alive in this event. Things should get interesting.
