After just two weeks of WSOP 2009 behind us and many tournaments still ahead, it is somewhat suprise to see Finn Wahlbeck leading the WSOP POY standings. Wahlbeck, who is considering of retiring full time poker, has been impressive so far with two top three finishes in $10k world championship events.

Daniel Negreanu has been impressive also, going deep in almost every tournament he has played and nearly won a bracelet himself, that would have been his fifth. Negreanu has to wait a little longer for his next bracelet though, as he eventually finished second in event number 14, a $2,500 Six-handed Limit Hold’em tournament.

Wahlbeck and Negreanu have both continued their impressive run since and are both still in the competition in the next championship event, that is $10,000 World Championship Omaha Hi/Lo 8-or-better. With 17 players remaining in the tournament, Wahlbeck is looking for his third final table in a championship event of the series and Negreanu has guaranteed his fourth cash already after just a couple of weeks!

Check out this video where Negreanu talks about his Series so far:
