RANK NAME COUNTRY TITLES ITM POY
1 SAMAD RAZAVI ENGLAND 7 20 2,411.50
2 Iori Yogo Japan 5 16 2,156.80
3 John Tech Philippines 2 7 1,553.40
4 Lester Edoc Philippines 3 11 1,514.50
5 Adrian Brion Philippines 2 9 1,332.40

Eyes (or specifically, just Sam Razavi’s) will be on Yogo today if he can survive Day 2 and enter the money round, which means huge APT POY points.

Curiously, it’s only Razavi who did not qualify for Day among the Top 5 in the APT POY race with Yogo, John Tech, Lester Edoc and Ian Brion all playing today.
