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. For a look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website.

The Top 10 as of August 13, 2012

Marvin Rettenmaier is back in the No. 4 spot following his win in the 2012 WPT Merit Cyprus Classic. Falling from the top 10 was Erik Seidel. His runner-up showing in the inaugural Epic Poker League Main Event aged into Period 3. It feels like just yesterday that Seidel was cashing for six and seven figures left and right. However, his last score for more than five figures was in September 2011, and in a few weeks will also age into Period 3.

Welcome to the GPI

Seven players are new to this week's GPI, led by Ismael Bojang at No. 243. His eighth-place finish in the �2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event at the German Championship of Poker �� Grand Final aged into Period 2, boosting his Period 2 results significantly while his Period 1 slate remains full with four scores.
