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. Changes were minimal near the top of the GPI this week, meaning Jason Mercier still holds a narrow lead. For a look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website.
