Global Poker Index: Fedor Holz Extending Lead over Nick Petrangelo, Jason Mercier
- Updated: September 29, 2016
Each week, the Global Poker Index releases a list of the top tournament poker players in the world using a formula that takes into account a player’s results over six half-year periods. For a look at the entire list, visit the official GPI website. Here’s a look at the rankings as of Sept. 28, 2016.
2016 GPI Player of the Year
Fedor Holz retained the top spot in the 2016 Global Poker Index Player of the Year race for a 16th-straight week where still enjoys a comfortable lead over Chance Kornuth in second position.
The rest of the top 10 was quiet as well, with only Paul Volpe nudging ahead of David Peters to move into the third spot in the rankings. It was a 20th-place and cash in the recently completed World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open Main Event won by Jesse Sylvia that netted Volpe some POY points to move up.
Looking below the top 10, two other players who cashed in the WPT Borgata Poker Open Main Event were able to move closer to the upper part of the POY leaderboard. John Racener finished ninth in the event, helping him go from No. 58 to No. 33 and William Foxen took 13th which gave him points to go from No. 57 to No. 29.
