Brown, a professional poker player who has been playing poker since his childhood, considers this one of his greatest achievements. In a forthcoming interview with Bluff Magazine, Brown commented that he was both gobsmacked and flattered at the news.
“This is an enormous accomplishment to be very proud of,” Brown gushed. “To put this in context – if I was acting, it would be like I won an Oscar at the Academy Awards.”
But Brown is no stranger to winning. His tournament history is, after all, what gained him this title. But Brown draws a distinction between being player of the year and being the winner of a major tournament. “It’s not like winning a tournament,” he said. “Anyone can get lucky one day and win a tournament.
“But all the best players in the world play all the big main events and the Player of the Year award is defined by [your achievements] in all the major tournaments.”
Bluff’s proprietary ranking system awards points to players who finish in the money in North American poker tournaments with at least a $5,000 buy-in, where there are at least 100 competitors. Brown scored a total of 470.44 points throughout 2006, beating runner-up JohnnyBax by almost 30 points.
