GPI Fantasy Poker Value Pick of the Week

With the recent launch of the GPI Fantasy Poker Manager on Facebook, we��ve been offering a few value picks.

The WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown kicks off on Thursday and will be attracting plenty of big names who have stayed Stateside.

Anthony Gregg is an excellent player for the cheap price of 16,370. Gregg is a former WPT champion with plenty of large scores on his record.

The other player we suggest grabbing is Paul Klann, coming at 10,000. Klann won the 2013 L.A. Poker Classic for over $1 million, then followed that up with an 11th-place finish at the 2013 Bay 101 Shooting Star. He's currently third in the WPT Player of the Year ranking this season.

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.
