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. With the post World Series of Poker lull still in effect, the top ten remains mostly the same but for a few minor changes. For a look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website.

The Top 10 as of July 30, 2012

Welcome to the GPI

Steve Barshak leads five new players on this week's GPI. His 14th-place finish in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event at the 2012 Southern Poker Million Dollar Heater (worth $12,222) aged into Period 2, partly filling what was previously vacant. He still has a full slate of Period 1 results counting, too.

Ups and Downs

The biggest rise of the week belonged to Brock Parker. Two results from his 2012 Borgata Winter Open (a first and seventh-place finish worth $76,387 and $84,223, respectively), aged into Period 2, which was previously empty. Meanwhile, his Period 1 slate is still full thanks to his seven WSOP cashes this summer.
