CardPlayer Magazine just released their much-anticipated year-end Online Player of the Year (OPOY) rankings and to no one's surprise, the top ten features a lot of the usual suspects of the online poker world topped by 2007's OPOY Isaac "wensmenloAA" Baron. Baron just barely beat out second-place Matt "ch0ppy" Kay for the honor in OPOY points, but definitely out-earned the entire field.

According to CardPlayer, Baron earned a total of $1,036,452 in 2007, had 37 top-20 finishes, reached 20 final tables, won seven events and had 18 cashes for at least five figures. Kay earned just over $200k less than that with the rest of the field more than $200k behind him.

Also in the top ten were two Bodog regulars, Scott "SCTrojans" Freeman and Jon "PearlJammer" Turner. Freeman won the Bodog Sunday $100k Guaranteed online poker tourney just a couple of months ago while Turner also won that same event and final tabled it a couple of other times as well. The finishes in those events both helped propel these two players into the top ten.

Here is the full top ten list from CardPlayer's OPOY contest:

1 Isaac “westmenloAA” Baron 8,304 $1,036,452
2 Matt “ch0ppy” Kay 8,278 $823,067
3 Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi 6,676 $615,419
4 James “P0KERPR0” Campbell 5,938 $616,616
