The Global Poker Index (GPI) Player of the Decade, Daniel Negreanu, has resumed his spot at the top of the GPI300 rankings. The index is calculated using a formula that rewards recent success more than historical performance.
Negreanu has been at number two in the rankings for the last five weeks after losing the GPI Player of the Year race to 21 year old Ole Schemion. Schemion drops to second place.
