GPI Fantasy Poker Value Pick of the Week

With the recent launch of the GPI Fantasy Poker Manager on Facebook, we thought we'd lend a helping hand in putting together your roster.

Here's how the GPI Fantasy Poker Manager works. Much like other fantasy sports, you are given a budget with which to pick a number of poker players for your team. When these players finish in the money of real poker events, you are awarded points. Finish with the most points and you win. It's that simple.

We'll be providing at least one "value" pick each week for your fantasy poker team. Here's our top selections for WPT Venice, which begins March 25th.

Sam Trickett �� 18,290: Although he fell from the top 300 this week, having the ability to pick a former top 10 GPIer at such a bargain price is too good to pass up.

Ludovic Lacay �� 14,850: Also among the 21 players to drop from the top 300 this week, Lacay knows something about winning tournament in Italy. In October, he topped a field of 797 to win the EPT San Remo Main Event.

To look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website. While you're at it, follow the GPI on Twitter and its Facebook page.
