Each week, the Global Poker Index releases a list of the top 300 tournament poker players in the world, using a formula that takes a player's results over six half-year periods. It was a light week on the GPI front as there were absolutely no changes in the top 10. For a look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website.

The Top 10 as of March 26, 2012

Ups and Downs

The biggest rise of the week belonged to Leo Fernandez. Now being reflected in the GPI is his win in the R$9,600 (about $5,300) High-Roller event last month at the LAPT Grand Final, for which he pocketed $71,717.

Marc Inizan took the biggest hit this week. Two aging scores led to Inizan's fall, starting with a 29th-place finish at the 2011 WPT Vienna last March slipping into Period 3. In addition, his ninth-place result at the 2010 WSOPE Main Event aged into Period 4.

What's In Store?

The live tournament slate is light, but among the 60 players left on Day 3 of the 2012 PokerStars.it EPT Campione Main Event include Fabrice Soulier (26th in the GPI), Olivier Busquet (35th), Todd Terry (56th), David Vamplew (137th), and Ronny Kaiser (177th). Deep runs could vault Soulier and Busquet into the top 20 of the GPI come next week.
