The European Poker Tour is just about at its halfway point, and a man from Portugal is running away with the Player of the Year points lead.

Businessman Fernando Brito has knocked off everybody’s socks with a runaway performance in the EPT Awards POY race. At the latest count, Brito maintained an almost silly 1,035-point lead over second place.

Although Brito only managed a min-cash in Prague last week, he hit the €1,000 turbo side event for another pile of points. Before the end of the season, the EPT may name the tourney after him. He finished runner-up in Vilamoura, won in London, and then won again in Prague.
