GPI Top 300 (?)
The Global Poker Index (GPI) is a patent pending system that ranks the top 300 live tournament poker player in the world.
Mercier Holds on to Number One
As is the case with most major sports, February is generally a rather slow month for poker, and this week’s limited tournament action is reflected in limited movement on the Global Poker Index. Jason Mercier stands strong as the world’s Number One. And Christian Harder, Andy Frankenberger and McLean Karr make big moves, albeit not in the same direction.
