Sass wins 2009 MPT “Rising Star” award

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - The 2009 MPT Player of the Year also earned the MPT “Rising Star” award for her consistent play in 2009. Sass cashed in five of seven events, placing second four times and placing third once. Her 69 Player of the Year points were a 27 point increase from the previous year, where she had one second and one fourth place finish in eight events. Sass also broke Amazon’s year old record for average points per event in a single season, averaging 9.9 points for every tournament she entered this year. She also topped the 2009 money list with $320 in earnings, easily topping her previous year of $90 and almost tying the season record for earnings, $325 held by Bigfus.

While still seeking her first MPT victory, Sass proved she will be a force to be reckoned with in future MPT events.
