It’s not quite over yet! If Michael Mizrachi wins the main event, the POY will be a tie.

Does ths WSOP still give a WSOP player of the year braclet? That started when Oklahoma Johny Hale did well in the WSOP man years ago and suggested it to them and he was so awarded. Also, do you get anything for winning teh wsop and/or cardplayer mag. player of the year award? Money, trophy?
