Grospellier Tops PokerStars' 2016 "Social Power Table"
Key Takeaways
  • Daniel Negreanu, last year’s top social influencer, slipped to third place, despite a Twitter and Facebook following of over 400,000 people.
  • Perhaps not too surprising considering who compiled the ranking, the list is dominated by PokerStars Pros which occupy seven of the top ten spots.

French online poker professional Betrand “ElkY” Grospellier has topped a list of the top poker professionals ordered by their social media influence, compiled by PokerStars.

Grospellier, a PokerStars Team Pro, has climbed eight positions since the last time PokerStars compiled its “Social Poker Table in 2014,” managing to best poker’s most recognizable players, including Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth and Jason Somerville.
