Other winners included Khiem Nguyen (Omaha Player of the Year), Salvatore Bonavena (Mixed Game Player of the Year), Melanie Weisner (Heads-Up Player of the Year), Pierre Neuville (Online Qualifier of the Year) and Lebanon (Best Country).Season nine of the European Poker Tour starts in Barcelona in August.
