More Than Half of the Top 15 are WPT Winners

At the start of play today, eight of the top 15 players on the leaderboard are members of the WPT Champions Club :

1.  Michael Mizrachi  –  428,200
2.  Rinat Bogdanov  –  381,000
3.  Guillaume Darcourt  (pictured above)  –  356,600
6.  Tony Ruberto  –  309,100
10.  Matt Juttelstad  –  274,000
12.  John Hennigan  –  265,500
13.  David Chiu  –  264,300
15.  Mohamed Ali Houssam  –  256,500

Of that group, four earned their titles earlier this season (Bodanov, Ruberto, Juttelstad, and Houssam), trying to join Tuan Le as the only players in history to win the WPT World Championship after winning a WPT title earlier that season. Tuan Le accomplished that feat all the way back in Season III.
