The current World Series of Poker Player of the Year leader continues to prove why he should earn that title.  George Danzer came into Day 3 of Event #38: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Championship as the chip leader with 13 players remaining.

The Brazilian-born, German-raised player started playing poker in live tournaments in 2006. He also has enjoyed success online as a prolific member of Team PokerStars.

His total live tournament career winnings have amounted to $1,598,408.

So far at this year’s World Series of Poker, Danzer has made three final tables including a 1st place finish at Event #18, the WSOP Razz where he walked away with a cool $294,792.

At last year’s WSOP, Danzer finished 5th at Event #55 - the World Series of Poker No Limit Hold'em Poker Players Championship, winning $388,523.  He had three cashes in last year's tournament.
