There were four more Player of the Year awards for their respective countries awarded before dinner commenced...
POY Italy: Dario Sammartino GPI 300 Rank #64
The Italian is still in the EPT Deauville Main Event with just 41 players remaining and he also finished third in the FPS High Roller earlier in the weak. He��s clearly going the right way about defending his Player of the Year title.

POY Spain: Adrian Mateos Diaz GPI 300 Rank #89
It��s no surprise that Adrian Mateos Diaz is also nominated for the Rookie of the Year as he had an outstanding breakout year in 2013. Without a doubt his victory in the WSOPE Main Event was the highlight, but this 19-year-old has his sights set on bigger prizes. He��s already third on the all-time Spanish money list and wants to overtake Carlos Mortensen. I wouldn��t back against him being back here again next year.
