The tournament, which comes with a $150 buy-in, adopts a freezeout format, drawing a mixed field of amateurs and seasoned pros. Those who cannot afford the actual buy-in can still get in by taking part in satellites for a portion of the price. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"current-top-10\">Current Top 10<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pokerdb.thehendonmob.com\/player.php?a=r&amp;n=524200\">Ricardo \u201c<em>Sambalele<\/em>\u201d Nascimentio<\/a><\/strong> is currently leading the pack, accumulating 1,903.80 points thus far. The Brazilian grinder got off to a good start after taking down the January 26th edition of the tournament for $44,945, during which he earned more than 1,000 points. <\/p>\n<p>He followed it up with a series of cashes to gain a 139.03 lead over his nearest competitor, Canada\u2019s <strong>\u201c<em>Luka Donkbet<\/em>\u201c<\/strong>.     \t  <\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<em>Interlace<\/em>\u201c<\/strong> from Turkey comes in third with 1,640.97 points, followed by Brazil\u2019s <strong>\u201c<em>NoodleMuncha<\/em>\u201c<\/strong> who sits at fourth with 1,604.10 points.

The tournament is growing each week, with more and more players competing for the POY title. <\/p>\n<p>If you are keen on winning the title yourself, the first step is to register an account with GGPoker. From there, you can begin your journey to the top without risking a significant portion of your bankroll. Take note that if you win a GGMasters satellite, you will automatically be registered to the next scheduled tournament. All satellite seats won cannot be unregistered. <\/p>\n<p>Will Nascimentio be able to hold on to the number one spot. We will have to wait and see.
