John Phan Brings Home Coveted 2008 Poker Award

Card Player and Bluff Magazine awards a Player of the Year Award to players who have done particularly well in Poker during a particular year, in any fashion. There are numerous criteria that are used to determine who wins this particular award, and it has been awarded to many poker greats like Jeff Madsen and Erick Lindgren—real stars in the poker world.

Those who win particular championships or competitions and find themselves standing out amongst the rest are bound to be taken into consideration but for those who want more specific informaiotn about what it takes to take this award home, let’s put it like this:

If nobody knows who you are, the Card Player and Bluff Magazine Player of the Year Award will not go to you. Point Blank Period.

This year, World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour champ John Phan will take home this award. It will go nicely with the poker fame, two WSOP bracelets, and the more than $1,000,000 he has picked up during his travels in the recently passed 2008.

John Phan has had an amazing year this year, and we think he deserves it. If you don’t know who John Phan is by now, keep paying attention. He had a good year last year, but 2009 is bound to be even better for him. This award doesn’t go to players of the great game who aren’t going anywhere, so we would like to bet John will be bringing home some more trophies, bracelets, and fat checks this year.

Congrats, John!
