Tournament Player of the Month has been a fixture of the Tournament Forum (in one guise or another) for many moons, with some of PKR's finest MTT players receiving awards for their exceptional displays amid the terrifying minefields of tournament poker. Each month we choose those players who have snaffled the most cash or been the most consistent in the previous weeks. Check out the list of eligible MTTs for your guide to becoming July's next big thing...
Eligible MTTs
All the major PKR MTTs: Open, Bounty, Daily $17K, Sunday Open, Sunday $30K, $3K GTD $100 buy-in, Masters, Big Shot, any festival MTTs (eg. Super Series, CPC), Omaha Showdown, Aussie Classic.
Prizes
The Player of the Month will get a 300 pc PKR Chipset and a PKR Hoodie while the runners-up will be able to console themselves with a PKR Hoodie too.
Most wins
Only one player managed three victories in major events during June, the Bosnian Zoky2007. A fan of the nightly $100 buy-in $3K GTD, he reached three final tables, converting all three into wins for a $4,477 return.
Most final tables
Two players tie for this accolade - recently-profiled community favourite Zeorbok and previous Player of the Month contender frozone. Both players appeared at seven final tables, bolstering their stats with multiple $3K GTD results.
Runners-up
A tight race saw Sweden's Kusken777 put himself firmly in the running with wins in the Open and Daily $17K, plus a second in the Daily $17K, for more than $9K in profit. Villainous darling of the Forums, TheSqueeze added his name to the list of nominees with superb performances in the Daily $17K, winning twice, in addition to final tables in the $4K and $3K GTDs. Both players win PKR Hoodies for their efforts.
Player of the Month
German Skillz85 announced his arrival in April with a Sunday Classic second worth $6,500 and a Masters final table for another $3,000. Victory in the Open and Daily $17K, second in the Daily $17K, a $4K GTD win and a 16th place worth $933 in the Super Series Masters all took Skillz85 to more than $12,000 in tournament earnings during June - an impressive feat matched by few. For those reasons, he picks up his first Player of the Month award, and the Chipset/Hoodie that accompany it.
Congratulations to the winner and to all mentioned. Best of luck to all of you in your search for MTT glory over the coming weeks. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground for July's Player of the Month awards, revealed soon after 01 August....
