If his last name is any indication of how he plays at the table, then it’s no question why Steve ’gboro780’ Gross won this year’s Card Player Player of the Year Award. This ‘gross’ poker player accumulated over $1.2 million in 2009 which makes him the player to beat heading into 2010. Though Gross wasn’t the top earner this year (djk123 and Jovial Gent topped him), his consistent play throughout the year is the reason he stands atop the leader board. Gboro780 earned over 10,000 points which is the highest point accumulation since the standings began.
