Global Poker Index Player of the Year: Dan Shak in the Lead

Each week, the Global Poker Index publishes the standings of the top 1,000 players in its Player of the Year race. Once a month, PokerNews will take an in-depth look at the top 10 players' results and the recent tournaments that have caused a splash in the standings.

A player's score is composed of up to 11 tournament results during the calendar year. Of those 11 results, up to six will come from Jan. 1 through June 30 and up to five will be from tournaments starting from July 1 through Dec. 31. Like the Global Poker Index Rankings, all tournaments must have a buy-in of at least $1,000 and contain at least 21 entrants to be eligible in comprising a player's score.

Thanks to his performance at the Aussie Millions, Dan Shak has taken over the top spot. He has three six-figure scores on the year already and is closing in on seven figures in earnings for 2013. Just behind Shak is Igor Kurganov. He has three-six figure scores, too, but his fourth-place finish in the AU$250,000 Challenge for AU$500,000 does not count in the GPI because it did not reach the minimum of 21 players.
