January 2026 Player of the Month

The January 2026 Player of the Month race was a selective affair, with the community casting votes for only four specific individuals: Jed Turnbull, Chris Maddison, Scott Burns, and Wayne Jones.

Among this group, Jed "JedEye" Turnbull rose to the top, securing the most support from his peers while simultaneously dominating the statistical rankings.

Jed’s performance this month was a masterclass in efficiency, as he translated five games played into three final table appearances and two outright victories. With a 214% ROI and two top-three finishes, Jed has set a formidable pace for the new year, proving that he is currently the player to beat when it comes to closing out deep runs.

Chris Maddison, known as "The Guvnor," followed closely in second place, finishing just a single vote behind Jed. While he didn't take the top spot, Chris was arguably the most consistent presence at the tables throughout January.

He played seven games and reached five final tables, a remarkable feat that resulted in four top-three finishes and five total cashes. Although he recorded one win compared to Jed's two, his 189% ROI and constant presence in the late stages of play made him a powerhouse contender.

While Scott Burns and Wayne Jones were the only other players to receive votes from the group, the month ultimately belonged to Jed Turnbull, whose clinical finishing ability made him the standout choice for January.

Congratulations Jed Marra
